Project Description: The SAGE Affordable Green Modular Classrooms address the need for a “healthier” version of the modular classroom which has become standard in over-populated school districts – and tackle the issue of making green design affordable. The classrooms are designed to the economic, social & environmental conditions faced by most Oregon & Washington schools and offer sustainability for cost-savings in long-term operation as well as a healthier environment that promotes learning.
Jury Review: The jury found this project compelling as a very replicable model that can be applied to a wide variety of locations to address the need for healthy and productive educational environments. SAGE is well researched and inclusive of a diverse, collaborative team that is committed to the future of education. The application clearly articulates the need for improved classrooms and the project provides a well-designed model that appears to meet the objectives established for enhanced student performance.
