The school, as a civic center, should offer no bounds to the possibilities of a growing community. In order to facilitate a true openness to its surroundings, the school must also address the issues that burden and congest. The school, especially being situated within the intricate web of the Lower East Side, must facilitate more local and interdependent solutions. Concerning the massive import, consumption, and waste of food, the school must become part of a more productive and intentional infrastructure.
