The building’s relation to the schoolyard in the form of large patios and the close outdoor-indoor relation to the schoolyard allows for a high degree of pedagogical integration of the outdoor spaces. The building’s shape and outdoor spaces invite children to be physically active, who are then motivated to learn.
