Climate change in schools

Building work is often seen as inconvenient by local communities, but with a good schools programme architects and planners can start reversing this impression, especially if your plans put sustainability at the core.

Local authorities will be impressed and firms can gain a competitive edge on the competition by offering to work with local schools near their developments. With quality educational resources design and building projects can make a fantastic curriculum topic for local school children, for example in Geography, Literacy, ICT and Design Technology. You may even get some good design ideas from the children!

Architectural practices might decide to provide a more general resource which can be used again and again, or for an even stronger impact, materials could be developed for specific design projects. Why miss such a great opportunity to promote your sustainable practice, expand your influence and smooth the building process? Get in touch if you would like to talk about this.
