14. PLANNING SCHEDULE
The dramatic entrance to the building is up a narrow flight of steps that penetrate deeply into the mass of the main volume, between it and the main vertical circulation tower.
This has become Rudolph's favorite treatment for exposed concrete surfaces, because, apart from being an interesting surface, it controls staining and minimizes the effect of discoloration inherent in concrete.
Internally the building is organized around a central core space defined by four large concrete slab columns that, similar to the external towers, are hollow to accommodate mechanical services.
On two sunken levels, sculpture and basic design studios encircle a central auditorium, the approach to which is rather torturous and obscure.

15. PLANNING SCHEDULE
Painting and graphic art studios are on the top two levels, with an open terrace for sketching.
Finally, there is a penthouse apartment for guest critics, that also has its own terrace
At street level, the library occupies a single storey side.
 Above this, with the possibility of looking down into the reading area, is a two-story central exhibition hall, with administrative offices on its mezzanine, and a central, sunken jury pit.

TWO BAYS ON EACH SIDE OF THIS GUEST COTTAGE ARE FILLED WITH PIVOTING PANELS WHICH FUNCTION AS
THE ENCLOSING WALL,
THE VENTILATING ELEMENT,
THE SHADING DEVICE, AND
THE HURRICANE SHELTER.
 THE THIRD BAY IS FILLED WITH GLASS, TO ADMIT LIGHT AND [PROVIDE] SPLENDID VIEWS. WHEN THE PANELS ARE CLOSED, THE PAVILION IS SNUG AND CAVE-LIKE — WHEN OPEN, THE SPACE PSYCHOLOGICALLY CHANGES, AND ONE IS VIRTUALLY IN THE LANDSCAPE."

•SET IN THE MIDST OF A GROOVE OF PINE TREES, THE RIVER HIGH SCHOOL REPRESENT THE ADAPTATION OF SKILLS DERIVED FROM NAVY/ SMALL-HOUSE PRACTICE TO THE LARGER SETTING OF A COMMUNITY OF BUILDING.
•THE LIGHTNESS AND TRANSPARENCY OF THE WHOLE STRUCTURE DERIVES FROM THE USE OF A SLENDER STEEL FRAME FREELY PENETRATED BY HORIZONTAL PASSAGE INTENDED TO FACILITATE THE VENTILATION OF THE ENTIRE BUILDING.
•LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE ‘BRISE SOLIEL’ ARE SUSPENDED FROM THE STEEL STRUCTURE TO AID ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL.
•THE STEEL STRUCTURE IS PAINTED DARK BROWN, WHILST THE REMAINDER OF THE INFILL PANELS ARE OF WHITE CONCRETE OF LIGHT COLOURED BRICKS.
