The next generation of primary schools in Wales will come complete with rain gardens and green roofs and be built from recycled construction materials. Artist’s impressions of three new net zero carbon schools to be built in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Neath Port Talbot and Gwynedd show how primary schools of the future will look .
Ysgol Bontnewydd and Community Centre in Gwynedd will be zero carbon in operation, using recycled materials from two buildings on site that are due to be demolished and source construction materials as close as possible to the site, including timber and sheep wool insulation.
Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Rhosafan in Neath Port Talbot will be a new Welsh language primary school and will include a Welsh immersion unit, delivering a range of educational and community services that will be provided by the council, partner organisations and by local voluntary organisations.
