Description
- The existing schoolyard was not adapted for children and students with special needs. It lacked elements such as vegetation, color and had a hard, deteriorated floor surface,
- The new design incorporates elements of colour , play structures, vegetation and soft pavement.
- The existing patio has been made into a patio-garden with increased vegetation and play structures targeted towards younger children.
- The schoolyard has been conceptualised in the form of activity bands with varying materials and textures. This would increase the spatial diversity.
- The activity bands are divided as quiet areas, semi-active areas and active areas.
- The children’s playground would be made into a covered area that would be quieter. Each of the corners would incorporate varying play elements.
- The quiet areas would have outdoor classrooms and picnic tables. These would be used for teaching or activities that are more instructional.
- The semi-active areas incorporate areas for hands-on group activities of the students. This area would have elements like a stage and a sandbox.
- The active areas has varying topography and climbing walls. This is an informal space which provides an unrestricted area for children to play and be active.
- The primary school patio has an existing sports track. It has been provided with a ring of vegetation which would act as an acoustic barrier and protection between the activity bands.
- Some other initiatives such as widening the sidewalk surrounding the school, providing soft pavement , and improving cycling connections around the yard have been implemented.
- The schoolyard has been designed not only to improve the play spaces but also aims to act as an extension of the neighborhood with improved pedestrian and cyclist connections.
