This 20-year-old school was restored for people's needs in accordance with modern land use planning standards and new teaching and learning requirements of the inner city. It was built in a suburban region with low building density and population, currently in the process of urban exploration and growth.
The former structure, which included a 2-story teaching block with 10 classrooms and some other amenities, was estimated to be 6540 square meters and was in poor condition. It lacked both indoor and outdoor play areas, was monotonously designed, and lacked both teaching and learning facilities.
The suggested design kept the original building's framework while using a steel frame coated in plastic wood on the rooftop to raise the building's height to three storeys, in keeping with the "students as the center" philosophy. Two more 4-story blocks will also be constructed on the west side. This innovative and traditional mixed-use design generates a secure playground core that serves as the school's main skylight and encourages cross-ventilation between the levels. In these 2 buildings, toilets, warehouses, and hallways are positioned at the front to shield classrooms from direct noise and to allow for restroom cleansing while providing shade for the classroom.
By rearranging the classrooms, the original size was increased by a factor of 1.5. The enclosed playground within and the modern, efficient ventilation and natural lighting provided by the window system. Each classroom is constructed to resemble a villa with three to four open walls, a lush garden for natural ventilation, and a roof overhang to block off sunshine and the brisk winter winds. The placement of classrooms ideal for preschool psychophysiology on the lower floor is prioritized above other auxiliary duties on the fourth story, which is also the highest floor.
The roof is where the concept of adding as much flora as possible can be observed. This develops the ecological component of the project and gives students a wonderful place to learn and play. Additionally, it increases the resistance to heat radiation and helps to provide an area with lots of ecological trees to the city's general landscape. With 50–80% of the school's vegetable needs coming from the site, the rooftop garden is anticipated to be completely self-sufficient. With affordable construction investment costs and a fair public investment budget, it simultaneously delivered energy-saving values for the building as well as the surrounding community.
