The sawdust will be added to the walls vertically and horizontally to strengthen the construction and save on materials.

the array and avoid using a more expensive grid. Narrow windows on the west walls give enough natural light without allowing too much heat to enter the classrooms.
Each class has an open space for flexibility when designing for educational purposes.
