小学建成两年后，来自甘多和周边地区的260多名儿童要求上学。很快就发现，为了满足这些学生的教育需求，亟需扩建学校。在周围村庄的大力支持下，学校扩建工程利用当地的劳动力和材料建成。

Two years after the completion of the Primary School, there was demand from more than 260 children from Gando and the surrounding region to attend the school. It quickly became apparent that an extension was badly needed to service the educational needs of these students. With overwhelming support from surrounding villages, this School Extension was built using local labor and materials.

由于该小学是与甘道社区成员紧密合作建造的，因此该建筑成为该地区的一个重要标志。由于该建筑的材料质量和建筑表现力成为了甘道社区本身的一个强烈的象征，因此新的扩建部分的设计也采用了同样的原则和方法。与小学类似，学校扩建部分也是用手工制作的压缩稳定土块建造的。也采用了将热铁皮屋顶拉离内部穿孔天花板的通风策略。

As the Primary School was built in close conjunction with Gando community members, the building became an important identifying landmark in the region. Since the material quality and architectural expression of the building became such a strong symbol for the Gando community itself, the new extension was designed with the same principles and methods. Similarly to the Primary School, the School Extension was also built with hand-made compressed stabilized earth blocks. The ventilation strategy of pulling the hot tin roof away from the inner perforated ceiling was also used.

然而，与小学不同的是，扩建部分的天花板被设计成一个单一的拱顶。天花板表面和梁柱之间没有留出空隙，而是在天花板的砖块图案的编织范围内建造了巨大的拱顶。这种 “会呼吸 “的表面将凉爽的空气从窗户吸入室内空间，并让热空气通过通风口排出，同时，悬空的屋顶还能为其遮挡，防止雨水的破坏。

Unlike the Primary School, however, the ceiling of the Extension was designed as a singular vault. Rather than leaving reveals between the ceiling surface and beam elements, the monumental vault was constructed with gaps within the weave of the brick pattern of the ceiling. This ‘breathing’ surface draws cool air from the windows into the interior space and allows hot air to escape through the ventilations, all while remaining shaded and protected from damaging rains by the overhanging roof.

学校扩建工程于2008年完工，目前可容纳120名学生。Gando学校图书馆目前正在建设中，紧邻学校扩建部分。该图书馆计划于2015年投入使用。

The School Extension was completed in 2008 and now supports an additional 120 students. The Gando School Library is currently under construction and is sited directly adjacent to the School Extension. The Library is scheduled to be ready for occupancy in 2015.
