这所黄金高中与以前的建筑不同之处在于它对周围环境的积极欣赏。在图书馆后面的金中学西边是望山，台山在东边。NAC建筑公司利用这个网站，为每个教室带来了这些壮观的景色和必要的光线。他们创造性地创造了一个有两座独立建筑的内部庭院，从而实现了这一目标。

What sets this Golden High School apart from the previous buildings is its active appreciation for the surrounding environment. Seen behind the library to the west of Golden High School is Lookout Mountain, and Table Mountain is seen to the east. NAC Architecture was able to take advantage of the site to bring in these spectacular views and necessary light into every classroom. They accomplished this by creatively creating an interior courtyard with two separate buildings.

其中一座建筑的形式是“L”不相交，长腿上有个扭结。这座‘L’型建筑的正面位于工地的南边和西边，以及面向内部的其他四个正面。它的两个故事包括主要入口，教室，图书馆和行政。第二座建筑是一层直的酒吧，与内部庭院的东边接壤。在这座更大的建筑里，有更多的公共项目，包括体育馆和自助餐厅等。

One of the buildings is in the form of a disjointed ‘L,’ with a kink in the longer leg. The ‘L’ shaped building has facades on both the southern and western edges of the site, as well as four other facades facing the interior. Its two stories contain the main entrance, classrooms, library, and administration. The second building is a one story straight bar bordering the eastern edge of the interior courtyard. Within this wider building are more public programs including gymnasiums and the cafeteria among other things.

内部庭院有许多好处，并被启动抢救成熟的树木在现场。现有的环境是黄金高中的公共空间，允许光线渗透建筑。它也是学生在建筑物之间流通的一种手段。建筑物正面的巨大悬垂创造了更多的阴凉处和庭院内的聚集空间。正面是砖砌的，窗户空间很大。

The interior courtyard has many benefits, and was initiated to salvage mature trees on the site. The existing environment is a communal space at Golden High School that allows for light to permeate the building. It also serves as a means of circulation for the students between buildings. Large overhangs off the buildings’ facades create additional shade and gathering spaces within the courtyard. The facades are made of brick, and with ample window space.

NAC建筑公司的黄金高中成功地将科罗拉多州的最佳景观带入了自己的校园。该设计以开放为优势，大庭院将其规划与开阔的天空和周围的群山结合起来。

Golden High School by NAC Architecture manages to take the best of the Colorado landscape into its own campus. The design uses openness as its advantage with the large courtyard uniting its program to the open sky and the mountains surrounding.
