There are some intangible benefits in building a green design, these classrooms are one among some others that can be used for a reference. First the classrooms are built using recycled materials, a prominent factor to preserve our environment. Second, the classrooms are built in modular building concept making the construction times very short, a mere 6 months that can save money and other energy. Third, there’s one important achievement in respect to the educational goals. The student of this school scores 25% higher than other schools, partly because this school can give a real live example in educating about sustainability, conservation, and environmental awareness. These modular classrooms are built by Project FROG, Watkinson School on a 3,500-sq feet area.
