SALAKOT SCHOOL - LAMAK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Help in making this school possible for the children of Barili, Cebu!
The benefits of design comes in manifolds. Design can build a school for children in a remote area where access to water, energy, and educational materials are difficult to distribute, Design can promote a healthier environment for the children in a school building by using sustainable materials and techniques, Design can support indigenous and native designs and practices in a country that is becoming Westernized. The Salakot School Project allows us to explore good design that can save lives.
The Salakot school design is a low-cost school made from sustainable and indigenuous materials for low-income families.The proposed public school building renovation of the Salakot School is for the Lamak Elementary School, located in Sitio Lamak, Baranagay Mayana Barili, Cebu City, Philippines. The school caters to the elementary grades, from Grade 1 to Grade 6. In 2009, first year high school will be opened. Thus an expansion for additional classrooms is necessary.
