HILLCREST COMMUNITY SCHOOL NATURE CENTRE

A school that puts sustainability first creates a warm environment that encourages young children’s enjoyment of learning while also educating them. This school wants to reduce its impact on the environment while encouraging pupils to be environmentally aware people. To that end, it emphasises eco-friendly practises and design features. This idea seeks to develop a better future for succeeding generations through its sustainable approach, engaging learning environment, and active community involvement.

The building’s ventilation and heating systems will be natural and sustainable. Openings like movable windows, rooftop vents, or thermostat-controlled louvres can let wind ventilation through by using air pressure differences in summers. By receiving the positive wind pressure that pushes towards the building, the windward side (inlet) effectively receives it. On the other hand, the positive wind flow is pulled by the exit on the leeward side. For the winter, a heating system is to be installed. Three different trash cans are also available in the building in addition to that. Hazardous garbage should go in the Black Bin, recyclables should go in the Blue Bin, and organic wet items that can decompose should go in the Green Bin. LED lightings have also been installed throughout the building.

Site Plan

The Hillcrest Nature Community School Center's site layout displays a seamless connection with the natural environment, expressing a dedication to sustainability and encouraging outdoor involvement. The building's link to nature is strengthened by how seamlessly the vast landscape blends with it. A comfortable and welcoming learning atmosphere is created thanks to careful consideration of the building's siting, which also offers optimal natural light and ventilation. Furthermore, the inclusion of an enjoyable small open picnic area provides an enticing outdoor location for children to enjoy meals and socialise, immersing them even deeper in the natural beauty of the surrounds. This site proposal for the Hillcrest Nature Community School Centre blends functionality, sustainability, and a caring outdoor experience.
