The brand new campus is home to more than 1000 students and includes two primary schools, a secondary school and a sports hall. A notable feature of the campus is the green roof, which not only contributes to the sustainability of the building, but also provides several other benefits. The green roof helps to insulate the building and regulate indoor temperatures, potentially leading to lower energy costs for heating and cooling. It also helps attenuate external noise, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable learning environment. The green roof also promotes biodiversity and helps reduce water runoff by capturing rainwater. For more information, read our article on rainwater harvesting on a flat roof.
The green roof requires only light maintenance twice a year, which consists of removing weeds and replacing dead plants.
