DGEV grounds

I walked around outside the other day and took a few photos of the buildings and the grounds. There are essentially 4 buildings here: The Main building, the Creativity building, the Situational building, and the dorms. All the buildings except the Main building are connected by hallways underground, but because these passages are all completely functional, there's no clear delineation from one building to the next. One minute you're strolling past the laundry room in the dorm building, and the next thing you know you're in the cafeteria, which is in the situational building.
In this picture, you can see the Creativity building. The playground is in front of it, and a nice little gazebo.















I took this shot a little closer to the Creativity building, and the Main building is visible on the right. There are lots of beautiful flowers here, though it has been mostly hazy weather.














Here's a closer shot of the main building and the flowers in front of it. You can't see it in this photo, but there is a cool fountain in front of the building that actually starts at the top of the steps.


















Turning around from the place where I took the picture of the main building, you can see the Situational building (sort of) at the right, and the dorms at the left. The glass pyramid in front is at the center of a cul-de sac, and serves as a skylight for a large round area below. That round area is where most of the situational rooms are. I don't have photos of the situationals yet, but they are the areas that are set up for hands on learning: a grocery store, police station, post office, gift shop, et cetera. They are all arranged around the central, sky lit area under this pyramid.














Looking to the left of the Situational building, you see the DGEV airplane, which is currently being painted and that's why it's surrounded by scaffolding in this photo. Its nose is pointing toward the situational building. Since it's being painted, I really haven't gotten to check it out.
Behind the airplane are the dorms. The brick rooms with balconies are teachers' dorms (mine is on the other side of the building) and the yellow building beyond is where the students stay. The grounds beyond that are more gardens and ponds, and way off in the distance is greenhouses where they grow lettuce and maybe some other vegetables for the cafeteria (though I've only had lettuce, so far).














If you click this link you can see an aerial rendering of the village with the Main building on the right, the dorms on the left, and the pyramid more or less in the center. There is an extra building shown between the Main building and Creativity building that hasn't materialized yet, but apparently it's in the works.
