OUTDOOR CLASSROOM AND POP-UP UNITS
Old Westbury, LI
These remote outreach popup workshop mobile units offer remote access to learning and education of any kind. The units can be deployed with workshop materials for anything from healthy living practices to technology and app education. Wiring from battery and wifi units held in the storage below are fed through hollow tubes for a seamless look above and to allow for complete connectivity, as needed. The mobile unit can be turned horizontal and hitched to a vehicle or bike for easy transport to remote locations.
The units also double as an innovative door and window system for an outdoor pavilion and classroom when stored and used in place. The four interchangeable gridded module frames holding merchandise, education materials, and chalkboard surfaces slide out from the unit and feed into a masonry wall to act as interactive windows while the cart closes the opening as door. The classroom pavilion includes seating and spaces to interact with audiences at intimate and group scales.
