School for gifted children in Letovo, designed by Dutch Bureau ATELIER PRO jointly with the Russian company Atrium, won the Architectural Council Award in the nomination «the Best solution to social object».

The treefold school building for 1012 students will be the center of the campus area of about 7 hectares. Four dormitories will be built nearby for 560 students, as well as three buildings of apartment style residences for teachers, a stadium, a number of sportive and recreational areas.

«In the core of this project lies the idea to form a new educational environment that meets the innovative model of teaching. I think this is a world-class example, and today we are trying to reach this level in other projects as well. The city is intensively investing in education. And the priority, in accordance with the policies of Mayor Sobyanin, is not only the number of school buildings, but also the quality of the environment, and interesting and individual architecture,» — says the Chief Architect of Moscow Sergey Kuznetsov.

All school buildings in Letovo are maximally integrated in the landscape and have a variable number of storeys from one to four. Based on the landscape architecture, we selected cladding with masonry veneer in brown shades combined with anodized aluminum paneling and stained-glass glazing.

The school building is functionally divided into the academic unit — in the North-Eastern and Southern «rays» — and the sports unit, in the Western wing. Moreover, the sports facilities have a separate entrance for visitors who can exercise in the evening. The nucleus of the school is a transformable space, which can be the school’s recreation hall, an assembly hall, or an isolated auditorium. The large stained glass of the southern facade and the skylights in the roof provide a maximum amount of daylight.

There will be winter garden in a separate multi-level space. The school also has a group of designated art education facilities, a library, administrative and medical units, and a canteen. Various types of facade decoration are used for various functional spaces.

Completion of the first stage, which, in addition to the school building, will include a dormitory for students and the underground passage connecting it to the school building; a dormitory for teachers, an administrative building, a football pitch, sports grounds, and an orchard — the academic and experimental basis — is scheduled for 2018. By 2020, three more dormitories for students and two more for teachers will be built.

The total area of the school building is about 20 thousand square meters; the area of the entire compound is about 40 thousand square meters.
