This school in Jaureguiberry, Uruguay was finished by Michael Reynolds and his team in March 2016. As usual for a Reynolds building, the walls and columns were built with tires and cans. In fact, more than half of the materials used for the school are recycled.

The building produces many of its own resources. It has well-oriented windows for natural heating, solar panels for energy, reservoirs for rainwater collection, and even an indoor orchard. In addition to whatever the students learn in the school’s classrooms, the building itself will teach them an important lesson about environmentally conscious living.
