COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES DESIGN AND FURNISHING

Teacher Workspaces
Modern educational environments must support not only students, but also the staff who guide them. Teacher offices across the school are equipped to ensure comfort, practicality, and professional efficiency. Each workstation includes a desk, an ergonomic chair, and a mobile storage pedestal. Shared storage areas, noticeboards, and kitchenette units are available in every office to facilitate collaboration and daily operational needs.

Language Laboratory
To enhance the learning of foreign languages, the school’s Language Laboratory is equipped with collaborative four-seat workstations featuring retractable computer systems. Teachers control all workstation extensions directly from a secure instructor desk.

The space includes the language software system, allowing teachers to manage student workstations, assign tasks, connect students for pair or group work, and communicate individually with each learner through headsets with microphones.

Science Classroom
The Science Classroom supports instruction in physics, chemistry, and biology. Three-seat student desks encourage group experimentation using measurement kits. Each desk includes an electrical panel secured in a lockable compartment.

At the rear of the room, a large multi-purpose workbench with extensive storage supports collaborative projects. The instructor’s demonstration station includes a power panel, gas valve, and laboratory sink, with full control over the electrical supply to student stations.

Robotics Classroom
Robotics education is an integral part of modern STEM curricula. The school offers hands-on learning using various types of robotic kits.

Younger learners control simple robots using built-in commands before progressing to block-based programming. Older students assemble and program advanced robotic sets equipped with remote controls. Components for custom designs can be produced using a 3D printer.

The classroom also includes a competition-sized robotics field and a dedicated storage area for accessories, supporting preparation for annual robotics competitions.

Training Kitchen
The Training Kitchen is designed for practical, hands-on culinary education. Four student work islands are located centrally, each equipped with a sink, retractable electric panel, oven, and induction cooktop. The instructor’s station additionally includes a dishwasher, combination refrigerator, and microwave oven.

A separate service area features washing facilities with a washer and dryer, enabling instruction in everyday household competencies.

Visual Arts Studio
The Visual Arts Studio offers ample natural light and space for creative work. Central storage counters support the preparation of still-life arrangements or projects requiring durable work surfaces. Wall-mounted folding tables and four-seat workstations offer flexible options for both seated and standing activities. A dedicated washing area with stainless steel shelving supports material clean up and storage.

School Club (After-School Program)
The school’s after-school program accommodates students of different ages. Younger children benefit from low tables and cushioned circular seating. Creative group activities are supported by modular PUZZLE tables with organically shaped tops, while older students can use wooden SMILE tables featuring integrated game boards for activities such as chess or checkers.

The room includes mobile storage units, backpack compartments, and library shelving to support multi-purpose use.

Leisure and Study Zones
A multifunctional space near the school entrance serves as a relaxation, study, and social area for both students and staff. It includes a bar-height work table with power and wireless charging, mobile triangular tables that can be combined or separated as needed, and height-adjustable active seating. Comfortable lounge seating with acoustic panels supports quiet study, while table football and table tennis offer options for active breaks.

Primary Grade Classrooms
Classrooms for younger students feature single-seat ergonomic desks. Modular “bean-shaped” desks can be quickly rearranged to support various instructional formats, including group work, which encourages social and communication skills.

In the afternoon, the classroom transitions into an after-school space with an open reading zone equipped with mobile bookcases and geometric seating cushions.

Secondary Grade Classrooms
Classrooms for older students are furnished with traditional double desks and sufficient storage, including personal plastic boxes for learning materials. Large-format noticeboards support the display of student work. Interactive whiteboards are standard equipment across all classrooms.

School Canteen
As the busiest area in the school, the canteen prioritizes durability and safety. Tables with metal frames ensure stability, while lightweight one-piece plastic chairs enable easy handling and cleaning. All furniture features rounded edges to minimize the risk of injury.

Sports Hall
The Sports Hall is fully equipped to support a wide range of physical activities. Equipment includes basketball hoops, climbing ropes, ladders, horizontal bars, gymnastic rings, nets, a balance beam, goals, benches, mats, and additional athletic apparatus necessary for diverse sports programs.

Hallways and Locker Areas
Hallways throughout the school are furnished with secure storage lockers—low lockers near primary classrooms and space-efficient split-height lockers near secondary areas. Metal seating stools placed along the hallways provide rest points and support circulation between classes.
