Tulsa Educare 4 - Celia Clinton Campus
Award-Winning Project
JONESPLAN, the official construction partner of outdoor classroom design-build company Good Fieldwork, built six state-of-the-art outdoor classrooms at Tulsa Educare’s flagship campus. Each classroom is uniquely age appropriate for the three separate age groups and designed to maximize developmental opportunities for outdoor learning in both the physical and mental sense.
The central courtyard for non-mobile infants, three classrooms for infants and toddlers, and a classroom and a bike path & water playground for Pre-K students are major focal points for the facility.
Hand-crafted and fully custom elements include wooden boardwalks, a cedar and rope obstacle course, a sunken slide pit, shade structures crafted from New Mexican vigas and latillas, boulder mountains, wooden huts and nests, and a reading tower.
Each classroom has a wide array of child-safe landscaping and several types of natural play and walking surfaces.
