'what a neat idea department',
a four-story tall Chinese elementary school with space issues and an oval roof solved the former by utilizing the latter, laying down a rubberized rooftop track surface and securely fencing it in, located in Tiantai, a city of 560,000 in Zhejiang province, No 2 Elementary School installed the innovative 200-meter-long rooftop running track not so much as a creative way to utilise wasted space but also as a function of necessity, the school was built with a site footprint limited to 7,210 square meters (77,610 sq ft) and there was simply no room available for something as large as an athletic track & field oval,
safety is of course of the most importance, so chief architect Ruan Hao surrounded the track with a series of three protective barriers: a 1.8-meter tall outer wall made from tempered glass, a central green belt, and a 1.2-meter high stainless steel rail that acts as the first line of defence, these mechanical barriers are augmented by the use of remote-controlled surveillance cameras and constant supervision by school staff, what a neat idea.
