Two secondary schools, one for girls and one for boys, were designed with a capacity of 300-400 students each. Premised on areas ranging from 10,000-18,000 sq m, the schools designs incorporated classrooms; laboratories; multi-purpose sports halls; computer, language, science rooms; and lecture halls. Also integrated were provisions for handicapped students.

The LEED-compliant structures adopted highly energy-efficient designs. To ensure that form follows optimum function, traditional and modern materials were selected to induce seamless integration with a wide range of environmental factors such as the movement of the sun, shadow masses, and wind flows.
