Here's a brand new education facility in the Clichy-Batignolles area of the 17th arrondissment currently redeveloped. Of course, they are boasting how green it can be, seemingly involving some cool engineering: vegetalized walls and roofs (some kind of both efficient and green insulation), photovoltaic panels for power supply, upscale thermal insulation and soundproofing, generous sized double glazed windows for views over the neighboring little park, "
ground-coupled heat exchanger" and "
automated vacuum waste collection system" for the 12 classrooms of the nursery and elementary school and the 152 student housing studios/apartments in there. There will also be some central kitchens to cook the meals of several schools of the 17th arrondissement. I like it, looks interesting. Below, some pictures show some rather stripped interiors though, because it's brand new. No doubt kids and college teens living in there will bring some stuff and funny mess to it.

That's fine. If all nursery/elementary schools were this fine in the country, we'd be the most advanced nation on earth.
