Learning Objectives

Learning Objective 1: How a nature-based school manages a diverse 40-acre living campus that includes forest, wetland and meadow habitats, courtyards, gardens and playscapes with the same emphasis on health, non-toxicity, and environmental stewardship exemplified by the buildings.

Learning Objective 2: Witness how the components of a high performance building envelope- foundation, facade, roof- come together to address thermal bridging and insulation continuity, minimal air infiltration, smart water and vapor management, and windows.

Learning Objective 3: How designers have more options to select Red-List Free, low-emitting, and/or low-embodied carbon materials than ever before to suit a variety of operational and functional needs- envelope, flooring, coatings, acoustics.

Learning Objective 4: How the principles of IAQ, thermal and acoustical comfort, water filtration, daylighting and biophilia which are critical to the Slate Lower School’s unique-for-New England design and construction are evolved and scaled into the Upper School.
