As a result of the earthquake analysis of the existing structures, the decision for demolition was taken because the structural systems found to be risky against earthquakes. At the beginning of 2020, it was decided to demolish the old buildings and redesign and build the new buildings on the same area. Yircali family undertook the construction of the school for the second time. The project land has an area of 26,998 m2. Its narrow façade in the southeast direction faces the Balikesir-Bursa Road. The north-east and north-west sections are surrounded by educational buildings and dormitory buildings, and the vacant area between Balikesir city center in the South-west direction is planned to be opened for urban development soon. In order to separate pedestrian and vehicle traffic within the project area, parking lots and service vehicle parking lots have been created on the part of the land facing the city. Pedestrian priority circulation is aimed within the campus area. The project area is functionally divided into zones. Social and cultural functions and open space arrangements are included in the south-west direction, which is expected to integrate the area with the city in the future. A buffer green area has been created in the section where the education and dormitory buildings are located, and the education building is in the north-eastern part of the area. The northern part of the land is reserved for sports functions, and the indoor sports hall and sports fields are considered in this section. With the proposed alle, a pedestrian spine is created that connects all the open spaces and buildings, starting from the ceremony area to each other. The campus has been handled with the logic of a small city. With its squares and streets, it is aimed to gain an urban texture and scale. The buildings, instead of a mono-block mass structure, have the characteristics of a small city / campus with the other buildings on the campus formed by the coming together of the masses. It is in harmony with the construction in the city center of Balikesir, where 2-3 storey buildings are common, in terms of architectural scale.

It is aimed that the new campus will cease to be a lecture-oriented building where education continues in the classrooms and offer areas that can be diversified with indoor and outdoor spaces. It is thought that these areas can positively affect the personal development of students as places where students can socialize face-to-face, accumulate new memories, and focus on art, sports and communication. The design of the school in the first days when the pandemic started to spread in our country allowed to think about how social distance and face-to-face education will be provided in the future. The necessity of getting natural air and light in indoor spaces, the corridor that will allow the protection of social distance, and the volumetric adequacy of indoor spaces have been re-examined.
The education building is intertwined with the greenery with inner courtyards and intermediate gardens. Corridors facing the courtyards create large and spacious interior spaces that receive natural light and air. The spaces that allow exhibitions and social activities created in the entrance halls, indoors and outdoors, gain a new meaning with the different activities that students do in the spaces. Classrooms are directed to the quiet area in the northeast and northwest directions of the area. Thus, distractions such as noise and mobility on the Balikesir-Bursa Road are minimized. Laboratories and administrative spaces face the more active alle direction. Structures such as the Dining Hall, Conference Hall, Sports Hall are designed as low-rise, accessible structures that are directly associated with open spaces.
Column-beam structural systems, mechanical and electrical installations of the buildings are designed to be understandable from indoor and outdoor spaces. In this way, it is aimed that the students can perceive the elements that the building contains in terms of architecture and engineering and question the cause-effect relationships through the building.
