Belgard Hardscapes Partners with The Green Schoolhouse Series

Words: Dan Kamys

Belgard Hardscapes is supplying Eco Dublin interlocking permeable pavers, solar paver lights and Castleguard edge restraints to The Green Schoolhouse Series, whereby schoolhouses are gifted to disadvantaged public schools. Belgard Hardscapes will provide its products for a LEED Platinum-designed green schoolhouse slated for construction in Phoenix, later this year. The inaugural multipurpose, safari-themed schoolhouse, which will be built at Roadrunner Elementary School, will replace uninspired, outdated portable classrooms.

The project at Roadrunner is the first that The Green Schoolhouse Series will build, along with school districts, corporations and volunteers across America. For more information, visit www.greenschoolhouse.org.
