The green classroom - a look into the future

The Green Classroom, a project within the "Campus4You" field of action of the Future Learning Location Upper Lusatia (ZukLOS), stands for innovation, education and sustainability. The aim of this project is to create a multifunctional meeting and learning space that brings people of all generations together on the campus in Zittau.

Key points of the green classroom:

  • Target group: The green classroom is aimed at people of all generations, with a special focus on students, employees of the HSZG and school pupils.
  • Capacity: 30 people can be accommodated in this innovative learning space.
  • Outdoor design: The outdoor areas will be equipped with seating islands, a fitness area including calisthenics and weight training facilities, a covered pergola with a PV system, table tennis tables, hammocks, volleyball nets and raised beds.
