This renovation increased the size of the original high school by 50 percent. The project added a two-story research wing at the front of the school which will house 'state-of-the-art' laboratories for neuroscience, a massive wave tank for oceanography students and an optics lab equipped with lasers. In addition to the research wing, the construction will also include outdoor classrooms with a greenhouse, and new common spaces will replace hallways between classrooms.
