Who Owns British School of Barcelona?

British School of Barcelona integrates sustainability into its educational framework and campus operations as part of Cognita Schools' global sustainability commitments.

The new BSB Maresme campus is designed to become a benchmark for sustainability in educational facility design.

Construction uses natural materials with emphasis on wood for its low carbon footprint, reducing environmental impact while creating a healthier indoor environment.

The BSB Maresme campus will be equipped with a photovoltaic solar installation of 80 panels, generating renewable energy for the school's consumption. This solar power system reduces the school's carbon footprint and serves as an educational tool for students learning about renewable energy.
