Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park expands its current facilities and inaugurates the new Environmental Classroom on April 22nd.
An immersive space, equipped with the latest technologies, that will take visitors to the beginning of time, about 35 million years ago when submarine volcanism built the foundation of the islands.
For educational and entertainment purposes, the new space recreates the interior of a volcanic cave and underwater life, with content defined by Biology and Geology professionals from the University of Las Palmas. Inside the cave, different sensory experiences will be experienced thanks to a thematic audiovisual project that manages to immerse the visitor in the seabed of the islands together with species that populated these waters millions of years ago.
Through the combination of various state-of-the-art technologies, the Environmental Classroom creates a unique system that allows the space to tell different stories. As the visitor travels the route, large-format 4K projections, supports adapted to the space, light effects, surround sound systems and computerized mechanical systems create real-time experiences, with interactive stations that delve into the visual information that is presented.
This is, without a doubt, a novel and unique space in Europe, in which a large part of the content is generated in real time.
The visitor will pass through several rooms with different themes, take a journey of millions of years to observe the marine depths and their species, as well as the emergence of the volcanoes that explain how it all began. In the Environmental Room we find images that will awaken our conscience and lead us to reflect on the dimension of our existence in the face of the universe.
It is a living classroom that transmits knowledge and brings the viewer closer to a scientific field in an entertaining way. With this objective, Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park has assumed the difficulty in achieving a balance between didactics and entertainment and turning both parts into a spectacle, with the adaptation of a script of informative content. Finally, in this project we have achieved a perfect harmony orchestrated by a powerful software and hardware equipment.
With an investment of four million euros, Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park, once again, in the search for innovation in the ways of dissemination and entertainment, has developed this space that takes us from volcanic activity to the underwater life of the Canary coasts in an audiovisual immersion trip through an organic space recreated for it. Various companies have participated in the creation project of the Environmental Classroom, Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park itself, where the materials have been manufactured, the Dpda. architecture studio, Lanzarote Tropical Park, G4, Leferctec, Enueve Ltd, Shelma Zebensui and the musician composer, Teddy Bautista.
New technologies and environmental criteria mark the initiative launched by Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park on its way to designing the species conservation, research and education center of the future. An objective that involves achieving facilities in accordance with this idea, which make it possible for the general public, children and students in particular, to have the opportunity to approach knowledge of the environment in an entertaining way.
The inauguration ceremony will take place on Monday, April 22 at 5:00 p.m. at the park facilities.
