Just as a positive working environment is
important for an adult’s mental health, an ecologically sound and productive
classroom is just as essential for a child. In addition to vital needs such as ample sunlight,
air flow, temperature and access to water – there are other architectural
decisions which can provide huge benefits for a child’s academic development.
Bridge Timber understands that as classes in Britain continue to grow, many
schools will be faced with the decision to expand their facilities – this is
where we come in.
Rather than extend a school’s current brick
and mortar structure, many now opt for an affordable, healthy and attractive
outdoor classroom with easy access to the main building. According to research
carried out by Salford University, the quality of a classroom’s sustainable
design can benefit a students learning progress ‘up to 16% in a single year’. As
such, a classroom that is easily sustained by staff to offer inspiring
aesthetics and ecological excellence should be the goal of any self respecting
school looking to expand.
To accommodate such needs, the team at
Bridge Timber have adapted our garden buildings for academic use with a simple
and clean approach built on traditional brick and stone structures. Build time
is minimal, costs are fair and the final design will always result from
cooperative bespoke discussion.
Excellent levels of insulation and high
quality PVC windows with Bi-Folding Doors (should you wish it) all help lend
your outdoor garden classroom a sustainable modern design that teachers and
kids will love alike.
