Kaunas is set to begin the reconstruction of Vaišvydavos School next year, a project expected to triple the available spaces for students and preschoolers. The extensive renovation is valued at 12.84 million euros and will dramatically increase the building's size from its current 2,200 square meters to 8,000 square meters.
Upon completion, the school will accommodate approximately 350 new places, adding to the existing 169. The design emphasizes distinct areas for younger children and older students, ensuring a conducive learning environment for both. The plans include new learning spaces, a modern library, and a cafeteria. Additionally, the facility will feature recreational areas, an information center, and administrative offices, along with an internal courtyard.
The reconstruction will also significantly upgrade the sports facilities. The gymnasium will expand from 565 to 1,030 square meters, and outdoor areas will be enhanced with running tracks, football, and basketball courts. During the reconstruction period, children will attend other schools and kindergartens in Kaunas.
