This Is Not Just Any Old Outdoor Classroom – This Is An Eco Centre!

  

We have just started to install our first Eco Centre outdoor classroom buildings at primary schools in the UK. Last month, we have sold five and without wishing to brag, all of these schools are absolutely delighted with them.

These buildings not only provide a practical role by providing an outdoor space where children can simply learn outdoors or appreciate natural habitats and bio-diversity but they also act as an educational resource as well. The school children have been busy monitoring the panel on the wind turbine and solar panel system and using the energy created to power up some LED lights and other low level appliances. The rainwater from the water butt has been harvested and used to water the school’s growing gardens, vegetable patches and planters and some classrooms have been undertaking studies on monitoring the wildlife and bio-diversity that has been attracted via the sedum roof, mini eco pond and insect nests.

With the Eco School programme becoming ever more popular in schools and coupled with the fact that this generation need to understand and be more sympathetic to the environment so that it becomes second nature to them, I think we are going down the right line!
