A Living Campus: Nurturing Growth and Connection with Nature
October 10th, 2024
Shenzhen, China
We’re excited to share some amazing moments from the Baoan Campus of the High School Affiliated with Southern University of Science and Technology (HSAS)! Officially opened in 2023, this vibrant learning space was created during the challenges of COVID-19, and it’s now a lively hub where students and teachers thrive together. Watching students run, laugh, and learn on the sports fields truly brings this project to life!
The Bao'an Campus embodies the design theme of "Boundless Learning" as a nine-year integrated institution. The landscape design closely integrates with the architectural layout, creating diverse learning experiences within limited outdoor spaces suitable for students of all ages. The flexible designs of multifunctional plazas, tiered seating areas, outdoor classrooms, sunny lawns, and comprehensive sports fields meet the outdoor activity needs of elementary and middle school students during their free time. Additionally, play areas, social corridors, campus nurseries, and green roofs provide an immersive learning environment that combines rational and emotional experiences, allowing students to connect easily with nature.
Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the design through the application of natural ecology and sponge strategies. By incorporating green social corridors, campus nurseries, and vibrant green roofs, the school creates a sustainable environment that is as lively as the students growing within it. Furthermore, the implementation of sponge facilities and educational initiatives aims to plant the seeds of urban water ecology protection in the hearts of students.
