Peru is leading the way to combine sustainable building and outdoor learning to create the world’s first “pandemic-proof” school.
Lima’s Markham College Lower school is getting a redesign that seeks to reshape how young people learn post-COVID. It will contain three stories of flexible, multipurpose areas that encourage students to take part in learning outside just as much as they do in classrooms.
The school’s eco-friendly replacement grounds will exceed 10,000 square feet (929 square metres) and accommodate 750
swimming pool, gym, science labs, and creative studios for art, music and drama.
