Dome and Heating

• The glass dome is going to go over the top of the
  courtyard and allow it to be usable in the
  winter, and maintain warmth without very much
  assistance.
• The dome is going to have glass with heating wire
  through it, capable of keeping the snow off the
  dome.
• The heat will be powered from the solar panels.

3
Solar Panels

• There are going to be solar panels in the four
  corners, powering the filter and the heat within
  the dome.
• This is going to make the space self sufficient,
  and will not use any of the energy within the
  school.

4
Gardens and Gutters

• The gardens are going to be used to help keep the
  space green, and comfortable, maybe used for the
  kitchen if feasible.
• Gutters are going to have holes in them to
  control the amount of rain falling on the
  gardens.
• Also collect the extra water and connect it to
  the plumbing and help some of the water usage.

5
Picnic Tables and Benches

• In the center of the courtyard, between the trees
  are going to be seating places.
• Two are going to be normal picnic tables, and the
  other two are going to be the swinging wooden
  benches.

Pond, fish, trees, filter

• There is going to be a pond with fish in it.
• The pond is going to be in a circle around one of
  the trees.
• There will be a bridge to access the tree and
  benches.
• There is going to be a filter to be used on the
  water coming of the dome. This way the water is
  going to be recycled back into the dome and used
  for the pond and or gardens.

7
Trees and Benches

• Around the two trees, are going to circular
  wooden benches.
• The benches here are going to also be made by the
  woodworking classes, or as an independent project
  for someone in the community.

8
Deck

• The deck will be constructed from yet again a
  woodworking class.
• The deck wont be too big, but enough to maintain
  a few addition seating over looking the
  courtyard.
• The seats will be Adirondack Chairs and Mushroom
  Chairs.

9
Murals

• The murals are going to be painted on the brick.
• This is going to make the space appeal to the
  kids in class.
• The murals are going to be nature oriented to add
  to the feel of the Biodome.

10
Rope Lights

• To help the area seem more like a community.
• Not going to cost too much.
