Outdoor Classrooms for Schools

Outdoor learning and play are essential parts of children’s development within school settings. Defined outdoor learning areas or outdoor classroom spaces can significantly enrich students’ learning experiences and well-being. Schools increasingly recognise the use of outdoor settings provides the opportunity to create dynamic and flexible learning environments with happier and more engaged students.

Outdoor Classroom Canopies

A covered outdoor classroom can be an extremely cost-effective way of maximising existing outdoor spaces, creating healthy learning and social environments suitable for year-round use. Adding cover in the form of a canopy can turn existing outdoor areas into true multi-purpose learning spaces while limiting exposure to harmful UV rays during the summer months as well as offering a robust defence against unpredictable weather. Canopies are well suited to doing double duty as outdoor classrooms while providing additional dining capacity and breakout space during lunchtimes. 

Streetspace offers a wide range of canopy designs suitable for use as outdoor classroom space. Our canopies are permanent freestanding structures and can be specified as steel or engineered timber frame with a range of tensile fabric and polycarbonate roof coverings. Canopies can be installed adjacent to existing school buildings or as standalone structures making the most of underutilised outdoor space on school grounds. To provide additional protection from the elements canopy structures can also be enclosed using either toughened glass walling, aluminium curtain walling or solid polycarbonate vertical cladding.
