Build it and they will come!
Whether you have a small patch of tarmac or acres of woodland, a large budget or just a few hundred pounds, SOuL can help you develop your school grounds in countless creative ways to make learning hands-on and accessible.
From simple log circles to amphitheatres, performance areas, reading gardens and more. Creating a strong culture of learning beyond the classroom requires spaces and infrastructure to enable people to meet, seat and teach in an outdoor setting. In addition, of course they also provide great opportunities as performance, assembly and social spaces.
The right furniture will also make the difference. Using hardwoods will ensure many years of constant use and, wherever possible, ensuring that seating and tables are portable and movable to enable areas to be configured according to group size and activity.
As part of a consultation process SOuL can work with your staff team to develop a bespoke site development plan for your school so we can intelligently design the right features, landscape your grounds and install the infrastructure required in your own unique setting.
