Existing school was built in 1965. The development consists renovation of a central school facility comprising the 4 floors. These are classrooms, offices and some common areas like shared kitchen, dining room, restrooms. Second floor is building which connects school with gym with technical rooms, changing rooms and third floor is existing gym.

After removing the existing gym on the east side of the central building, we planed in the same place new school building with five floors. New school is connected to the existing on all floors by new intermediate glazed part, which have a main entrance, a central staircase and new lift. New school building comprises two gyms, 13 classrooms, cabinets, new toilets and wardrobes for students.
