Since the entrance is essentially the gateway to the school, it should encase what the educational space will be like. Entrance space is often limited, nevertheless, it is a space with potential for high usage. For example,  students can spend time here to wait for a ride or for a friend. Pocket parks are small public parks that are often found in urban areas surrounded by commercial buildings or houses. They have a comforting vibe while allowing personal space in a public site, all in a limited space.
