In addition to contributing to the school’s green profile, the solar
cells also form a permanent part of the school’s curriculum,
allowing students to monitor energy production and use data in
physics and mathematics classes.
As an additional phase, the school plans to establish an urban park
on the water, an ocean of activities and recreational spaces at one
with the water, the weather and nature – in front on the school on
the waterside, named “The Nordhavn Islands”. The activities on the
Nordhavn Islands are spread out over three different islands, each
with its own characteristics: “The Reef”, a multifunctional platform
for aqua learning and events in extension of the quayside; “The
Lagoon”, a floating arena for activities such as kayak polo and
other water sports, and “The Sun Bath”, an actual harbour bath
with a sauna and protected areas for swimming training. As an
extension of the school’s interior space, not only can the functions
be included directly in the teaching, but they can also be used by
external visitors, as can the school’s facilities, which are intended
to function as a “community centre” by the Orient Pier.
