Architectural Tour

Can a building be alive? This is no ordinary building: it is an organic entity in which every element of its design suggests a larger purpose. The green exterior tile mimics and melds with the surrounding forest; the floor to ceiling windows illuminate the building with what seems to be the light of intelligence; the small risers on the stairs - now worn through a generation of footsteps - remind us that this is a place designed first and foremost for the children that fill its halls; and the Pillar of the Sacred Heart in the front entry, cast as an organic member of the building's structure, imbues the entire school with a deep spiritual presence. 

This Architecture Tour will introduce you to the Sacred Heart lore and symbolism that are an integral part of Jean Labutut's design for Stuart.
