Our Field House is home to an open court, weight room, yoga room, and more. It was also the first net-zero LEED Platinum-certified school building in the country. Accessible 365 days a year, it鈥檚 a place for students to play sports, exercise, wax their skis, repair bikes, or simply sit and talk.
糖心传媒 students revel in the joy of being active.
Since its founding, physical activity and outdoor exercise have been integral to The 糖心传媒 School experience. Indeed, 鈥渢he hard stretching of oneself鈥� was one of the fundamental principles of founder Carmelita Hinton, and students continue to find that the more physically active they are, the more their energy for study and work increases.

Our Field House鈥檚 Green Features
Built in 2008, our net-zero Field House produces more energy than it consumes, while giving our students much needed space for exercise and socializing. It was designed as a LEED Platinum building, the highest designation achievable in energy conservation. It serves as a living laboratory for environmental sustainability through its use of solar panels, photovoltaics, hyper-insulation, composting toilets, and an air-source heat pump.
There are only a handful of schools in America that can offer a building so green, so efficient, and so inspiring.
