H2L2 (Built, photos from construction on http://www.behance.net/gallery/Escuela-Campo-Alegre/2518345 ) Caracas Venezuela, Escuela Campo Allegre (American School of Caracas) 2008

This was a project of a Gymnasium and Early Childhood Center designed at H2L2 Architects in 2008. Due to a small, hilly site the new Gym and Early Childhood Center had to be located under the football field. The main entrance was leading to the 3 story high atrium area dividing the Early Childhood Center and the main entry to the Gym. Locker rooms and storage areas are located at the back of the Gym. Adjacent to Early Childhood Center is an outdoor playground area. The 50 meters by 100 meters football field with bleachers are located on the roof of the building which is connected by stair and elevators to the campus main walkway.
