We aim to build a new modern school for 880 children in Bucha, Ukraine. The school will replace the old and war damaged education infrastructure in a growing municipality of Bucha, which became a major settlement for internally displaced people of Ukraine. It will be the first A energy class school in Ukraine and complies with zero emission standard, sustainability and ensures protected biodiversity. The school will have a shelter that will be adapted for dual usage during peacetime.
Bucha, a town in the Kyiv region, was one of the first to face the enemy and suffer from it. Because of the horrendous cruelty of the Russian army towards Ukrainian civilians, Bucha became one of the bitter symbols of the war. After the de-occupation, numerous pieces of evidence of civilian killings, torture, and other crimes emerged. The housing stock suffered greatly, as did the social and educational infrastructure of the city - 14 schools in total were damaged during the occupation.
A new modern school will replace old soviet type and damaged education infrastructure in Bucha, rebuild a social fabric for the community, and create additional capacity for 720 pupils in school and 160 in kindergarten. Since the school will be equipped with the bomb shelter it will help the children to return to education in school instead of studying at home. The school is designed to have innovative education spaces, creating a second home for children and enabling modern education methods.
The school will help Bucha community to rebuild its destroyed education infrastructure, restore social fabric, create a second home for Ukrainian children and set a replicable standard for faster execution in other cities of Ukraine. The Bucha school is sustainable and compliant with zero CO2 emission standard, biodiversity protection and has microclimate standards, education spaces that enables children with war shocks and post-traumatic stress disorder to reach higher academic achievements.
