Ecosystems

Amazing, is it not, the variety of the athletic ecosystem offered by American public schools?

We find:

Football Fields
Soccer Fields
Lacrosse Fields
Field Hockey Fields
Baseball Fields
Softball Fields

Basketball Courts
Tennis Courts
Racquetball Courts
Squash Courts

Ropes Courses
Running Tracks
Wrestling Rings
Weight Rooms
Workout Rooms
Locker Rooms

Swimming Pools
Gymnasiums
…even stadiums.

Here is the typical academic ecosystem:

Classroom
Science Lab
Media Center

Perhaps…
we could consider an academic ecosystem at least as rich and varied as the athletic ecosystem?
