School A+ in Fayna Town

Objective

Design a learning space where children will study from 1 to 19 years under one roof

Solutions

• The school pays great attention to active sports and creative areas, so there are about 1,000 square meters of various sports and choreographic halls
• Six audiences are allocated for music, drawing, and vocal lessons
• The real highlight is the slide down from the second floor in the foyer. Along with a normal staircase and even an elevator, there is a playful way to quickly go down the spiral pipe to the floor below
• On the first two floors, there are junior grades and junior groups in the kindergarten, and the windows of the elementary school are assembled on the facade from windows of different sizes, which are placed at different heights to create a playful rhythm. The windows of the upper floors of the high school are more strict, and regular ones form the academic aesthetics
• On the 4th floor, there is a terrace with a stage where one can conduct outdoor activities or organize a festival theatrical performance, movie watching, science fair, holidays, or relaxation, and meditation lessons
• The corridors are so broad that in some places, they reach up to 5 meters and turn into large recreational spaces, which can also be used not only as a transit but, for example, as an exhibition space
• Each room uses a ventilation air volume control system based on VAV valves (from 30% to 100% of the volume required for a given room)
• Since rotary recuperators return part of the exhaust, dirty air (about 5-7%) back to the premises. Therefore, rotary recuperators were replaced by plate recuperators (they do not mix the flows of waste dirty and fresh, clean air)
