Reimagining a green school community
Located by stunning forest and sea, Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong (LPCUWC) has offered quality international education since 1992. To expand the college’s educational spaces, we integrated the outdoor areas with the new Peace Education Centre (PEC). Prioritising advanced technology, flexibility and sustainability, we introduced a ‘learning street’.
Key highlights
Connecting indoor-outdoor space for improved learning experiences.
The ‘learning street’ offers seating nooks and flexible spaces for various activities and school events.
Achieving both Fitwel and LEED Certification as a highly sustainable and healthy school campus.
Writable desks and walls in each classroom encourage student participation. To keep students connected, the medium-sized classroom has cutting edge video conferencing. The rooms feature sustainable materials, including a workshop-style cost cutting ceiling baffle system that enhances acoustics.
We installed flexible furniture and shelving to maximise key areas, especially in the library and makerspace. Equipping the makerspace for 3D workshops with height-adjustable desks offers students dynamic learning opportunities. The extended social space also has audio equipment to host music and film nights.
With sustainability at the forefront of this project, LPCUWC achieved Fitwel and LEED Certification, offering access to exercise, air quality monitoring, energy saving, optimised daylight and more. Taking learnings and insights from students and teachers, the space successfully meets the needs of all, in and beyond the classroom.
