New eco-friendly classroom introduced at Hellbergschule Lörrach
The Hellberg School in Lörrach has a new addition to its schoolyard - a green classroom, funded by the city's budget and constructed in approximately three weeks.
The new green classroom, an eco-friendly outdoor learning space, is located at the Hellberg School and was built by the City of Lörrach. The structure, designed to integrate nature with education, boasts sustainable materials such as locally sourced timber and robust granite blocks for seating.
A large sunshade has been installed to provide shade during sunny days, and the previously unattractive area of the schoolyard has been renovated to accommodate the new space.
The cost of constructing the green classroom was around 13,000 euros, with the exact funding details not specified. The inauguration of the new green classroom will take place during a small school festival in July.
The Beekeeping Club will regularly use the new green classroom for lessons and group work, and it may also be used outside of regular school hours for club activities. The school festival, for which the cost is not provided, will also take place in July, but the location remains undisclosed.
The green classroom is designed to accommodate classes from one to ten and will not be limited to a specific type of lesson or activity. The new learning environment will serve as a multifunctional space where students can learn about biology, ecology, and sustainability directly in nature.
Teachers will use the space for subjects like science, environmental studies, art, and group activities. The green classroom also encourages hands-on learning, raises environmental awareness, improves student engagement, and promotes healthier physical activity.
For those seeking more detailed technical plans, exact cost breakdowns, or specific schedules of use, official reports or contacting Lörrach’s school administration may provide more precise data.
