Futuristic, yet Practical Instead of keeping our island flat, and having the majority of our buildings on the ground level, we have situated 13 glass classrooms along a 120 meter high, horse-shoe shaped mountain ridge. Below the steep mountain ridges, lies a welcoming sandy beach that reaches out into a c resent moon shaped bay area. This large open space is used frequently by our teachers for special learning activities, such as market place and carnival role play scenarios.

The Onion Our meeting area is in the shape of an Onion, and is constructed of 100% virtual pink stained glass. We actually never planned to use a giant onion as our central meeting area... but it actually does a great job of representing the organic nature of our island ~ We build. We make mistakes. We learn.... and sometimes we cry! So.. an onion - is perfect. Everyone begins in the onion. When an avatar teleports to our island for the first time, thats where they land - smack dab in the center beautiful pink wonder. Around the edges of the onion are several multi colored hamster tubes sprouting out - connecting to each holodeck classroom. Inside the hamster tubes are convenient People Movers - you know, the ones you see at the airport. Here, avatars just click on the red loading ball, and they are instantly moved along the pathway 100 meters to their destination. This saves virtual transport time.
