The Environment as “The Third Teacher” concept
Every detail of the infrastructure must have a purpose, so that it acts as another teacher – supporting students to deepen learning processes.
Designed by Frank Locker PhD, our campus is designed to meet the educational challenges of the modern world. Awarded with the CEFPI “Planner of the Year” in the United States, Dr. Locker has designed or collaborated in the planning of more than 50 schools around the world . He is also the manager of the LEFT program at Harvard University, where he has revolutionized educational spaces and helped train new generations of architects and designers.
