With the Phoenix Mountain as a backdrop and overlooking the sea, the campus provides both a scenic and tranquil living and learning environment.

The challenge for Solahart was to design a solar hot water system which would provide hot water for four buildings; two were used by the Students and two by the Teachers. The four buildings were designed for a maximum occupancy of 1,160 persons with an estimated hot water consumption of 64,200 litres @ 450 C per day.
