Ervinton High School Outdoor Classroom

The Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) and Upper Tennessee River Roundtable asked the Community Design Assistance Center (CDAC) to assist them with the design of an outdoor classroom. The two groups desired the components of the outdoor classroom to address forestry, geology, soils, wildlife, and aquatics. A small trail was also a desired feature of the “classroom”. The CDAC design team worked with the SWCD and Ervinton High School (EHS) faculty throughout the design process. Students were also involved in the review and critique of the design proposals for the outdoor classroom.
