On the site of the school parking lot, the architects propose to create an educational complex of the “urban farm” type, which will introduce students in practice to the concepts of “sustainable development”. It will include planting of various crops, a mobile greenhouse and a kitchen class building with a "system wall", which consists of interconnected cylinders, which will accommodate space for compost and waste sorting, a rainwater and purified water tank with a volume of 5,700 liters, solar storage, dishwasher, tool closet and chicken coop.
The kitchen class itself is a traditional room with a long counter, kitchen appliances, a pantry and three tables, at which schoolchildren can eat dishes prepared by them from vegetables grown in the garden. The roofs of the building are adapted for easy collection of rainwater. On the opposite side of the “system wall”, a greenhouse adjoins the kitchen classroom: in autumn and winter it will cover an area of 150 m2, and in spring it can be moved to the roof of the kitchen to free up this space for planting in the open ground.
The vegetable garden also has a solar-powered canopy that covers a round bench: in this open classroom, students will receive assignments at the beginning of the lesson.
