Reinventing the Schoolyard : An Ambitious Project
Produced in collaboration with EVOQ Architecture, this ambitious project presents a totally reinvented schoolyard concept. The steep terrain presented a considerable challenge in terms of landscaping the courtyard, but it was also an opportunity to create a dynamic and unique space !
A Multi-level Schoolyard With a Dynamic Layout
Maximize Space With a Variety of Equipment
The topography of the site has allowed us to create a courtyard with several levels.
It features a variety of swings
swings, climbing, sliding and balancing equipment, as well as ground games and a multi-sports field.
Inspired, Right To The Concrete
The different levels are supported by concrete blocks reminiscent of the mythical LEGO blocks, designed by Marie-France Turgeon, landscape architect at EVOQ Architecture.
A Colorful Mound For A Mountain of Activities
A Durable, Safe Surface
The huge, colorful mound is covered with a Matchwinner velour needlepunched sand dressed surface, beneath which is a resilient absorption layer.
This surface ensures that children will be able to climb the mound time and again without it digging in over time, unlike a natural grass surface.
Easy Monitoring For Enhanced Safety
The sand dressed surface provides quick eye contact with children, making supervision easier. What’s more, its colouring adds a unique signature to this modern schoolyard.
An All-Purpose Multi-Sports Field
A Sports Area Suitable For a Variety of Games
The multi-sports field, covered with Playrite’s Matchplay2 needlepunched sand-dressed surface, provides a versatile sports area for basketball, soccer, tchoukball, handball and all kinds of other sports and games. It’s a space that will undoubtedly be favored by physical education teachers.
A Permeable, Durable Surface
The high permeability of this surface is one of the advantages appreciated by the landscape design professionals associated with this unique project in the greater Beauce-Etchemin region.
