Scottsdale Community College's campus sits on land belonging to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and is leased from the tribe on a long-term basis.

Sited in Redwood City, Calif., adjacent to both San Francisco Bay and Oracle Corp.’s corporate campus, the 64,000-sq-ft aluminum, glass and wood-paneled Design Tech High School project benefited from the input of a trio of primary decision-makers: Oracle, the Oracle Foundation and the charter school itself.

The 245,000-sq-ft Portola High School sits on a 43-acre span of the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro in Irvine, Calif. 

Architect Robbie Ferris is on a mission to alter radically the delivery model and performance of K-12 schools.
