This educational, portable classroom prototype was designed to provide an environmentally conscience alternative to traditional portable classroom structures. For future use, the prototype is able to transport easily on the roadway in two parts…or all over the world.
”"Built to meet the 20 imperatives of Living Building Challenge. Each SEED Classroom houses all of the systems the classroom needs to be self-sustaining. Materials and systems are left exposed to teach students how the building works. Each classroom comes with a curriculum package developed in partnership with the International Living Future Institute that allows the building to become a living laboratory for its students."
