The assessment of the facilities and the collection of environmental indicators was a field investigation carried out by 17 students over several months this academic year. They were mentored by their Physics and Chemistry teacher and an expert from the Ecoescuelas project of the Gran Canaria Biosphere Reserve.

The report details the positive and negative aspects of the center, as well as the necessary improvements to reduce its carbon footprint and environmental impact. Last Thursday, the document was personally handed to the councilor for Education and the councilor for Parks and Gardens and municipal supervisor in the midlands, who were asked to consider the study in future improvement plans.

Among the proposed improvements are the installation of timed taps in bathrooms to save water, repairing the drinking fountain to avoid plastic bottles, changing lighting to LED lights, replacing faulty sockets, upgrading windows and blinds for better thermal insulation, and renewing old computers and photocopiers with more efficient models. They also suggested organizing awareness talks and projects, and improving the center's habitability to reduce drastic temperature changes in summer and winter.

In their audit findings, the students also highlighted as negative aspects the use of paper, despite recycling it, and the considerable generation of waste during recess that does not reach the appropriate containers. As positive aspects, they noted the shaded area in the patio, which promotes student well-being and reduces the impact of high temperatures; the green areas and native vegetation within and around the facilities, which aid thermal regulation and reduce visual pollution; the availability of recycling bins in classrooms; students' use of reusable water bottles and containers for breakfast; and the existence of a school garden with a composter.
