helping to further connect the interior and the exterior. The oversized circulation space makes room for interactive spaces and exhibits, transforming the circulation space into learning environments for the schoolchildren. ECC features four interactive areas: (1) Matter & Energy; (2) Earth, Universe, & Space; (3) Human Body; and (4) Sustainable & Healthy Eating. AUTO CAD
06 RENDERED PLAN showing the ideal classroom and two interactive areas, Earth, Universe, & Space and The Human Body. In order to reflect the Costa Rican culture and reduce the embodied energy associated with the transportation of materials to the site, Costa Rica’s vast natural resources will be used for the completion of ECC. All classroom floors will be made of teak wood, locally grown and harvested in Costa Rica. All furniture within the rooms will be made from melina wood, also grown and harvested in Costa Rica. Traditional Spanish-style clay tiles manufactured by Productos Caribe S.A, located in the city of Esparza, Puntarenas province, approximately 80 km west of San José, will be used in the “wet lab” area of the classroom.
