Take Indoor Learning Outdoors
With our innovative equipment and design expertise we can create a functional outdoor space that will serve both as an innovative outdoor classroom and an interactive learning area.
Outdoor Classroom Design Concepts
We've created some sample outdoor classroom concepts that are a great way for school campuses to expand their learning space.
Courtyard Layout
Consider with or without shade
Atrium Layout
Consider with or without shade
Desk Concept
Portable design offers a hook for students to hang their backpack and shelf to store classroom materials. Desk available in a variety of Permalene color options.
Outdoor Learning Environment Examples
In addition to a traditional classroom layout, outdoor classrooms encourage exploration but provide more structure and connect what children learn inside to what they explore outside. Gardens, musical instruments, stage and performance areas, art areas, outdoor fitness and more give your child the opportunity to engage in fun, hands-on activities while discovering specific areas of learning. The New York Times' recently reported how schools across American are moving classrooms outdoors.
Below are a few examples of outdoor learning areas we've designed.
