Security for students and staff was among the considerations when designing the building. Visitors must identify themselves at the front entrance before gaining access to the school. Separate entrances for busses and visitors are part of the design as an additional safety feature. The sidewalk was extended from Manor drive for those students who walk to school and teachers have the ability to lock the classroom from both inside and out.

Restroom areas have a common sink area within clear view from the hallway for added supervision and student access. Additionally, each restroom has one handicapped accessible area, as well as separate restrooms for faculty on each level of the building. Different colored floor tiles identify the grade level areas. An elevator is located in the classroom wing for students and staff who require adaptive services. The library is a central focus of the school and offers a diverse environment for children, including unique areas for special activities. A mini-computer lab is available for small group or individual access. The computer lab can be accessed from the library for large group research projects.

All kindergarten and some special education rooms have bathroom facilities. All classrooms have individual student spaces for coats and belongings, a private phone, networked computers, television, combination DVD/VCR player, sink with water fountain, tack strips, storage space and a large walk-in closet. Special Education rooms are equipped with appropriate furniture and materials to support their programs.
