Design Web Resources

To help the team in their search for ideas on how we can design a sustainable, modular classroom structure, here are some websites to look at...

The USGBC Build Green Schools resources page is a good starting point for all topics:

I also want to encourage you to research existing versions of modular schools and see if there are some ideas you can use, and ideas that you would change from the existing models out there.
Here is one company to look at, visit the gallery and look at their case studies:

This article from the Boston Globe is a good case study of a "green" modular classroom:
