Schools as community centres and public spaces


Neighbourhood Schools

Schools as community centres and public spaces


Neighbourhood Schools
The initiative promotes the idea of an open access school dedicated both to the students and the rest of the community, where both processes complement and develop one another in symbioses, enriching architecture and change schools and neighbourhoods for the better.

  • Systemic changes

School grounds have been divided within 3 categories based on security and privacy:
A. Spaces allocated for teaching functions include classrooms, laboratories, staff rooms and other. These areas can only be used by the school’s staff and the students enrolled in the school.
B. Spaces serving both the school and the community include gymnasiums, auditoriums, concert halls, gallery spaces, meeting rooms, library or inner courtyards and other multipurpose classrooms.
C. Spaces dedicated to the community are those that can always be accessed by the community even during teaching hours.
Implementing this framework in the reconstruction of existing schools will further enrich architecture and change schools for the better. In addition, communities can benefit from more social activities that address all ages. As such, giving schools a 24 hour open access can deeply benefit society a whole.
This concept has been applied at Servete Maci School which the images are related.
