Map of ULS Buildings Today
The slide show below provides the viewer with a sense of how much the buildings have changed...and yet how much they have not changed since we were students.
ULS Courtyard Garden and Botanical Biography
You may have been dismayed by the current pictures of the courtyard in Building 3. There is a reason for the courtyard looking like it does.
This project focuses on creating our ULS Courtyard Garden as an outdoor learning center, that is linked to our local and global communities. While many school gardens and crops focus on growing and identifying plants, we aim to go beyond the scientific and common names of our plants. We are attempting to find information on where each plant originated from (what garden, person, wahi pana), what family or group introduced the plant to ULS, as well as what its cultural and nutritional values are. If you have any plants you would like to add to our garden, or are able to share information about the plants that already exist in and around our Courtyard, please let us know!

A Look at ULS Today
The ULS website provides information about the school. Be sure to look at the video “Life at the Lab School – 2014″ is a ULSMedia production (scroll down on the page to see the video) describing the different disciplines of knowledge that form the foundation of the school’s constructivist, experiential curriculum. It features interviews with teachers and students along with footage of a broad range of student activities and daily life. You'll see classroom scenes in which today's desks look very similar to the "pink" desks we had as well as the same potter's wheel we used in the Industrial Arts building. This is an excellent video of ULS today created entirely by ULS students. This video may serve as a reminder as to why UHS means so much to us.
