The new school in Dolní Měcholupy is a very ambitious project. It not only aims to create a contemporary educational space for the local youth but also wants to become a connection between the old city and new developments by providing quality public spaces both outdoors and inside.
The programme of the school is also quite complex. The kindergarten, first and second stage of the elementary school operate mostly independently, but share certain spaces. Most of these are also open to the public to some degree, the sport facilities, assembly hall, library or canteen all need to serve the local residents too.
The desire for a possibility to build the kindergarten separately, and the fact that most interior spaces should have a good connection to the outdoors are adding more constraints to the functional connections.
While the task is challenging the possibility to create an educational and social center that defines the coming decades well worth the effort.
