Description
How do you get to school if it's minus 45℃ outside? How do you gain an education when your nearest school is 20km away? We are asking you to help us design a 'Cool School' for a community in Mongolia.
Submit a proposal for a school building which will act as a safe, comfortable, learning environment for 100 pupils withstanding the extreme temperatures in Mongolia.
A well designed school environment has a fugue impact on a chile's learning. It can affect a chile's academic progress over a year by as much as 25%.
We are looking for a school design which considers lighting, ventilation, environmental conditions, materials, space, comfort, accessibility, adaptability and aesthetics. This is a chance to shape the future of school buildings across cold regions globally.
Help create classrooms which engage and inspire children, improving their education.
