Designing Playful Climate Ready School Grounds: A Lookbook

By Evergreen

Showcasing natural and built elements on school grounds that promote climate resilience, accessibility and inspired play.

We believe there are five key design elements to consider when creating climate ready school grounds: vegetated landscapes, topographic landforms, permeable surfaces, sustainable materials and great play & learning spaces.

Explore all of these elements in this beautiful lookbook with photographs on every page and details on the sometimes overlooked pieces of an environmentally-friendly school ground.
