Description
  • The schoolyard consists of a square courtyard with an educational garden and 16 trees
  • To increase permeability , the existing granite pavers were removed and reinstalled with dry joints which allow for water to seep into the soil
  • The portions of yard under the trees were converted to ground surfaces with wooden chips
  • Rainwater harvesting is undertaken by means of a collector. The water is then used to water the educational garden
  • The educational garden has a variety of plant arrangements suitable for conducting workshops. These include fruit trees, pyramid of flowers and standing planters
  • The existing grid of trees provides the backdrop for an obstacle course aimed at improving the motor skills of the students. The course has a network of wooden huts and platforms
  • Paths made of natural materials like wood and stepping stones crisscross around the wooded area
  • There is an amphitheater made from reused cobblestones provided in a shaded area. It forms an important gathering place and a venue for outdoor classrooms.
