The Greenfield School has two full science labs, two computer labs, an expanded state-of-the-art library, newly renovated cafeteria, air-conditioned and handicapped accessible building, a fully equipped gymnasium, a kindergarten play yard, a flowering "Secret Garden" and ample trees and plantings.
"Greening Greenfield" is a five-phase initiative that will transform the building and grounds of the school from a mixed-use asphalt play yard to a self-sustaining, flowering green space. It will include efficient water management systems, innovative recycling solutions, solar power, and more, all underlined by curriculum that will connect the students' education to their immediate surroundings. The new rooftop weather station, funded completely by a student-organized "penny drive", is connected to every classroom, providing constant meteorological data. It is the first of many real-life environmental installations which will greatly enhance the science program.
