In effort to move forward, I'll model your truss, which seems effective both structurally and for the rainwater runoff concept. The model you created before and posted to the blog is so eye-catching that the presentation submission should have the same sort of appeal. I will take photographs tomorrow of the area that we are proposing for the two structures, where one is two stories. The size of the areas are on the blog, specifically at the May 7 post:

The area in front of the glass would be good for the single story class, and the area to the left for the double story.
Ideally there's a ramp to the first level, since it's a raised foundation. In the eyes of the jury, the presentation image is what needs to be the hook. An effective image as well would likely be an interior view that shows marker board, video projection screens with the image of a foreign teacher on location on one, and a foreign class on field trip on the other, for example.
We haven't thought about what student interaction should be like... and therefore the desks. I will discuss this idea with my students tomorrow to see if they have insight regarding desk/interactive-station design. We can model such furnishings on our software and perhaps superimpose them from an eye-level vantage point into your interior views.
In my opinion, you should take note of the dimensions of the spaces in the two areas from the image link above of the existing conditions of our site, and begin adapting your previous models to it. Hopefully they are easily editable.
