The architectural concept is based on inserting a new structure into the original industrial frame. Within the steel skeleton of the former factory, new functional blocks have been added to define distinct spaces — from specialized classrooms and workshops to a gymnasium and facilities for staff.

The building’s expression remains strictly industrial. White façade panels, horizontal window bands, silver metal accents, and stainless steel signage reference the site’s engineering heritage. A prominent horizontal incision in the main façade forms the entrance and creates a direct visual connection through the building. A panoramic window belonging to the school’s administration projects outward from this axis, symbolically linking the interior with the entrance plaza.

The core of the layout is the central hall space, which forms the heart of the school’s daily life. An orange amphitheater functions as an auditorium, gathering place, and rest zone. Surrounding galleries connect the various teaching blocks. Classroom entrances are highlighted by orange niches, serving as both orientation points and playful visual accents within the strict industrial framework.

The complex also includes a school canteen with large-format glazing that opens views into the surrounding greenery. A transverse wing houses facilities for teachers and administrators, while the top floor contains specialized classrooms.

The new school stands at the intersection of industry and education. A former production hall has been turned into a space for learning, collaboration, and inspiration. It offers students an environment that evokes real-world industrial conditions, naturally preparing them for future careers in mechanical engineering.
