Project concept:

The building of secondary school No. 53 in the centre of Kyiv, built in 1956, was in an emergency condition. At the behest of the charitable foundation, we undertook the complete reconstruction of this building – a difficult task with a huge level of responsibility. The project was completed in 2014, and today it is a fully functioning school. A huge amount of work was done, and creation of a comfortable space for Kyiv schoolchildren became a serious challenge for us, which we coped with perfectly.

Features of the project:

- Projects for reconstruction and strengthening of the foundation and supporting structures were developed and implemented; the task was non-trivial due to complex geology, the passage of a metro line under the building, and the need to completely replace outdated wooden floors with reinforced concrete ones

- An individual design project was developed taking into account modern requirements and standards for educational institutions

- Two floors were added and modern assembly halls and gyms were created

- A modern kitchen-dining room with an individual air exchange system was created

- Only environmentally friendly materials were used in the classrooms

- All main utility networks were completely redesigned and installed

- A complete reconstruction of the facades was carried out while preserving the authentic appearance
