Outdoor Classroom Using Parts of a Shipping Container.

I created a sustainable and clean way to create a outdoor classroom environment using a shipping container. The abundance of unused or broken shipping containers contribute to pollution towards our oceans and by finding ways to use them can help with this growing problem.
Supplies



For supplies you will need the following. Shipping container, cutting tools, school furniture, large construction machines. and a transparent roofing system.

Making a Base

I started out by having a regular shipping container. Then I started to carve windows and doorways from the container to create a more open vibe.

I attached a roof to the container making the classroom more wind and resistant to the sun. Also I added a chain for some furniture and a start to what would be inside of the classroom.


In this step, I took away the doorway and placed an interactive whiteboard to the back of the design. I also continued adding more furniture to the outside of the class as well as more furniture to the interior.


In this step, I took out the interactive whiteboard to create a more open environment. As well as umbrellas to the exterior to accustom the outdoor chairs.


In this final step, I added more to the interior as well as changed the oblique roof into a transparent roof that allows for natural light to seek through.
