Think Small
Small can be beautiful and cozy. The trend lately has been toward big classrooms. Large classrooms generally use a tremendous amount of energy to heat and cool. This energy usually comes from the combustion of fossil fuels, depleting these resources and emitting greenhouse gases and pollutants into the air. Also, the larger the classroom, the more materials go into its construction; materials which may have their own environmental consequences. A classrooms should be just the right size for its occupants and their activities

ReplyDeleteWe'll try setting up the modular classroom so that the minimum size is a cozy 20'x20' space. Multiple modules will allow for larger spaces, as needed by the school site.
