Spoiler
It's an elementary school.
Lafayette, Louisiana is so car dependent that their brand new elementary school is built like an industrial center where trucks line up to deliver and pick up goods.
All of this for a demographic (kids) that can't even drive.
i was going to guess school before seeing the spoiler but wtf do they not even get a basic playground? that's why i initially was like "no fucking way that's a school"
There might be. If that city is anything like mine the administrators wanted paved playgrounds because they cost slightly less to maintain. Playground at my elementary looked like a fucking parking lot. So many kids got injured worse than they should have playing sports lol
It's over in that dirtfield with saplings in the center-left of the picture, between the perfectly good shade trees and the metal canopy for the basketball courts.
There’s a playground in that that triangle shaped back behind the first layer of buildint
They do, it's in the nook of the L-shaped building on the far left, fenced in. You can see swings and a slide at least. Not huge or elaborate, but it's something.
