架构师提供的文本描述。莱克兰小学是一套由四个元素组成的小学之一，它是在相同的模式下为联邦方式公立学校设计的。DLR集团对这所学校的设计重新考虑了一所学校应该是什么样子。从外面明亮的色彩和半透明的“酒吧”打破了典型的学校设计模式。

Text description provided by the architects. Lakeland Elementary School is one in a set of four elementaries designed under the same archetype for Federal Way Public Schools. DLR Group's design for this school re-thinks what a school should look like. From the outside the bright colors and translucent "bars" break the mold of typical school design.

在内部有各种不同大小的学习空间，其中大多数不是根据特定的目的定制的，最大限度地发挥了可能的用途和灵活性。文学公寓楼的书架上有内置的阅读角落。室内装修简单而原始，这使得这所学校的建造成本比当时的其他学校要低得多。结构和公用设施是明智的位置，以最大限度的选择，并尽量减少费用在任何未来的翻新。

Inside there are a variety of different sized learning spaces, the majority of which are not customized to a specific purpose, maximizing possible uses and flexibility. The literary commons features bookshelves with built in reading nooks. Interior finishes are simple and raw, allowing this school to be built at a significantly lower cost per square foot than other schools at the time. Structure and utilities were intelligently placed to maximize options and minimize expense in any future renovation.
