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.
