After years of waiting, students at Ústí nad Orlicí’s arts-and-crafts school are entering a new era. New studios, specialist classrooms, workshops and other teaching facilities have been built at the brownfield site of the former Perla textile factory.

The project cost nearly 216 million Czech crowns, making it one of the region’s largest investments in education. Its completion closes an important chapter for the school, known locally as “Umprumka.”

The new facilities also support the continuing transformation of the gradually restored former textile complex in the middle of the city.
