Outdoor classroom design

An outdoor classroom for Refuge events and environmental education. Rendering by student interns at RBA Architects.

The project’s primary partner, RBA Architects, is providing generous contributions of time, expertise, and instruction. RBA has pledged partial financial support. 

Students from the Environmental Studies Program of Virginia Beach City Public Schools, working with RBA Architects, are involved in the planning, design, and construction of the outdoor classroom.

The outdoor classroom is a project of the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge Society, the primary partner and Friends group of the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

This project is being funded by donations, sponsorships, grants and fundraising.
