The official inauguration of the new space took place on Thursday afternoon, attended by Mayor Sandra Guaita, Education Councillor Pilar López, Director of Territorial Education Services Montserrat Fortuny, and the school director, Elisenda Gil. This transformation seeks to offer children a superior educational environment and provide citizens with new resting areas functioning as climate refuges.
“"Today is a very special day for the school and for the city as a whole."
Significant improvements included the planting of thirteen new trees and 1,700 plants, substantially increasing the green infrastructure. Furthermore, hard, impermeable paving was replaced with soft, draining surfaces, generating shaded areas and comfortable, ergonomic resting spots.
This action is part of the first phase of Reus's climate refuge plan, known as the RENATUReus project. This initiative is also being implemented in other city schools such as General Prim, Teresa Miquel i Pàmies, and Pompeu Fabra, utilizing a pedagogical approach to encourage greater socialization within a naturalized setting.
