FACILITY
HOW OUR FACILITY IS DIFFERENT
Fieldworks Design Group has developed a strategy focused on completely redesigning existing physical spaces to house multiple, overlapping functions necessary for innovative teaching and learning.
Our school space converted a disused shoe factory into a beautiful school facility that supports our learning methodology of creativity, inquiry, resourcefulness, and play. Most of our children walk to school – providing access to schooling within the community that we serve.
The unique design methodology employed focused on up-cycling and other innovative ways to reduce waste and build green. In 2017, we were became the first-ever African school to achieve a 4 Star Green Star rating.
