In detail: do-it-yourself repair in a school class from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Who should be repairing classrooms in the school?
In our school, all the head. offices receive a salary increase throughout the academic year. As a result, we acquire lime, paint, brushes on our own and. we bring the office into proper form. If money is “not a pity,” then you can hire people. But the material is still its own, the school does not allocate for classrooms. But at the beginning of the next academic year there is a likelihood of receiving material rewards for their work. ... Here is such a vicious circle. ...
We are repairing the office together with the parents, using their money to buy paint.
Extortions from parents are prohibited in our country, because officially “the state allocates the necessary amount of funds for the repair of educational institutions. "Once they tried to collect 130 rubles per person, so out of 28 families of students, only 12 passed. The rest did not consider it necessary," after all, they give money to schools !? It's good that they didn't go to higher authorities to complain.
In elementary school, parents are still doing joint repairs of the study, while in secondary school the situation is completely different. At least that's how it is with us. ...
I don’t know who should, but in most cases I know for sure who does in fact - a teacher, of course. We have a law prohibiting PORTS from the parents of students, therefore, at our own expense, we buy the necessary material for the repair of the office and in our free time (usually vacation) we improve not only the qualifications of the subject teacher, but also the qualifications of the master of finishing construction work. And this whole repair process ends with the painting of the walls, baseboards and staircases in the school corridors with the same teachers, only in this case the paint, brushes and rollers are issued by the caretaker.

The repair is done by the teacher together with the parents. In our school, every year the teachers in their classrooms do it themselves, and the technical staff repair the corridors and other premises. Apparently the teacher should do everything and repairs too.
Dear colleagues! In our school, the office managers do the repairs of the offices. Of course, we don't buy paint, but we ourselves are the little things for renovating the office. indeed, in our school, there is also an additional payment for an office, but after renovation, there is always a monetary reward. We do not even raise the issue of repairs, we do repairs in the summer.
It surprises me that renovations are done every year. The paint falls off, the whitewash ceiling also sometimes cracks. Is it really impossible to do it once every 5 years, capital, for example: stretch ceilings (dust is wiped off and they are like new), you can also put tiles on the floor. Because Rubbing the floor with mastic every quarter is exhausting and stinks for a long time and terribly. Well, or something like that. After all, plastic windows were installed in all schools of the Krasnodar Territory, why is it impossible to reconstruct the classrooms?
I believe that the teacher should do together with the parents, but the school should also partially help.
In our country, levies are also prohibited, but the teacher should do the repairs in the classroom as he wants. I understand that little money is allocated to the school for repairs, but repairing a classroom with your own money is stupidity.
My office partner and I do this: parents hand over money for repairs, and it is done by the technical staff.
And no one allocates any money here, and we do everything ourselves! This summer I spent my vacation in this office, and my parents do not want to go do it, and they don’t have to. The fact that the state does not allocate money is not our problem at all! Again, there are schools in which the school makes repairs in the classrooms and no one is satisfied with the extortions. This is generally horrible.Checks come and see what rooms, conditions, whether everything is met, they see the availability of equipment in the classrooms, etc., and who gave money for this ?! I am completely disappointed in this all. And as a young specialist, getting a penny and investing my own money in repairs and in the summer I don’t want to hang on the ceiling with a roller. As a couple, I even think about leaving this sphere altogether. They demand a lot from us, but they don’t want to help and provide what they are obliged to do, nor have we come up with standards and san ping. Sorry for being so emotional, I just can't keep silent anymore .. (
Good evening everyone! Of course, the school should help with repairs, but alas. it is not always so. At school we are given a little paint, but we do everything ourselves. Well I have 2 sons. that's how they help. We repair together with them! And parents do not always have time to just go to school, and you say - repair.
We resolve the issue of repairs in the office with the parents at a meeting. At the end of the school year, we jointly assess the condition of the classroom and what needs to be done. For example, at the end of the last academic year, it was enough to do a general cleaning.

We have an affordable pricing policy, the most affordable prices.

9. All deadlines are met, you do not have to worry that you will not be in time for the beginning of the educational process. We produce everything within tight deadlines.
Initially, all communications are checked - sewerage, electrical, plumbing. If any breakdowns occur, they must be repaired. Also, special attention is paid to ventilation and air conditioning. Renovation of classrooms at the school, as well as finishing work of classrooms, are carried out according to the following scheme:
1. Ceiling work. Craftsmen are cleaning old finishes. Eliminate stains, rust, mold. The ceiling surface is processed - putty or plaster is applied, polished, and the ceiling is prepared for further decoration. As a design, you can choose - painting the ceiling, decorative plastering and more.
2. Renovation of walls in the school. Experienced professionals will remove the old finish. This is followed by a preparatory stage - sealing all cracks, removing stains. Putty, priming, sanding are performed. Sometimes vertical slabs are leveled with a plaster or putty mixture. The school uses paint, wallpaper, and plaster of your choice as a decoration for wall decoration. After finishing, window frames, platbands, doorways are installed.
3. Floor work. Initially, old and unusable parquet, linoleum, laminate are removed. The floor screed is carried out by qualified specialists, if necessary. The new floor covering is installed qualitatively and reliably, the skirting boards are installed.
Renovation of a gymnasium at a school requires a special approach. All materials must be breathable, capable of withstanding severe stress. The floor covering must be especially durable - parquet, laminate. The walls are painted with detergent paint that meets all safety requirements.
The most important thing when finishing is safety. The emergency state of a room can pose a threat to the life and health of students, teachers, employees. Therefore, in theory, no matter how it may seem, it is easy and simple to make repairs of individual classes and premises on their own, in practice this should be done by professionals. It is the experienced specialists who know all the nuances, requirements for certain materials, the technology of finishing the school. In addition, you do not know what problems you will face, how long it will take to fix them, and the beginning of the school year is on its way.
Renovation of the classroom at the school, as well as other premises, must be completed on time. To do this, it is best to involve highly qualified craftsmen who are able to provide quality services and complete everything on time according to all standards. Renovation of a classroom at a school, as well as other classrooms, requires a specific approach. Children will be comfortable learning and developing their abilities in the field of science and creativity.
When calculating the cost of renovating schools, you need to consider the total amount you will spend on materials. Usually this amount is 40% of the total cost. The complexity of the performance of certain services, the total area of the premises and the repair of the school class separately, as well as the repair of the gym in the school are taken into account.
We provide the following services, prices for them per square meter:
Class repairs are usually carried out annually. Typically, during the summer holidays, students and their parents are encouraged to take an active part in the renovation. In the next academic year, schoolchildren and teachers will have to spend more than one day in the renovated classroom. To update the interior of the classroom, it will be useful to know in advance all the subtleties of the question of how to make repairs in the classroom.
All public places are renovated on the same level. Those who are faced with the question of how to make repairs for the first time have probably watched the finishing work in the hostel more than once. No one requires a major overhaul of the classroom space.It will be sufficient to only slightly renew the surface of the walls, floor and ceiling.
Unfortunately, after the end of the academic year, the classroom is in poor condition. Therefore, the question of how to update a room without repair is not relevant. Walls and ceilings noticeably fade over time, and part of the surface and bright color of the coating are erased on the floor. Even in one day, thousands of shuffling feet pass on the floor, let alone a whole school year.
Usually, the head of the class appoints those responsible for the renovation, who collect money and purchase all the necessary finishing materials in advance. The budget for repairs is usually quite modest, so the question of how to find a repairman is not even raised on the agenda. Paint for walls, floors, desks and window sills, whitewash for the ceiling - this is the whole list of purchased materials.
There are several rules for painting school premises. The color of the floor and walls should be light so that the interior does not "press" on the psyche of students. It is better to pick up a quick-drying paint. Repair work is usually carried out in August, so the paint must dry out by the first day of September. It is better to apply matte paint on the walls, because the enamel reflects the sun's rays, which can negatively affect the vision of students.
Before completing the repair, you should pay attention to even minor details in the repair. Rings for flower pots can be welded to the wall. Hanging stems of plants will decorate the interior of the classroom and create a special comfort in it. The final touch is gentle curtains on the windows. They must be matched to the color scheme of the entire class.
I'll put in my five kopecks. In general, in the fifth class, we were given a crummy office, the class teacher tried to get repairs from the management, but of course they refused. Then the whole class together chipped in and put the class in order, changed the windows, wallpaper, wardrobes, and installed blinds. Well, in general, as the repair was completed, our class was transferred to another, even more ragged office, and the renovated one was given to another class. We resented this for a long time, but the management did not give a shit. We did not make repairs in the new class.
I was the only one in a school where the teachers sat in the classes, and the children ran to different classes for different lessons?
Yes, we also had one. We had a biologist in the classroom, and until we hired a cleaning lady, we had to wash her cab and, moreover, WATER HER PIPING FLOWERS, she had 30-40 pots, and some big ones (palm, monstera, ficus) were fucked up water, and had to run around with these torn buckets.
There, too, were held all sorts of kch, tea drinking. Well at least there were no lectures)
you're a shitty cat, too whiner
Was Figase allowed to drink in your class? After the 5th grade, we had to “gain a foothold” in a bar nearby 😀
or you can just rock the windows at night))
And in general, burn down the school.
Who cares? Let it be at least a man, but for this it is necessary.
Well, for the sake of justice and civic duty.
our parents threatened this when the class teacher was taken away from the class together with the office
the director's brain got fucked so that he sent the fuck out and returned everything back
Want to hear real PAIN
A friend of mine, a teacher, when he was given a classroom, made repairs in it himself, with his own hands and for his own money! Moreover, he even made a kind of drywall utility room. The office began to resemble some cool class from films about a cozy school. So, they took her away from him in the same way. That was butthert so butthert
So he quit. The story was quite long ago. Therefore, I don’t remember whether this was the reason or immediately and the reason. And how long he worked there.
But he already had some kind of near-business business (Medvedev's dream). Therefore, he could well spit on everything
Damn, I would disassemble everything after that and bring the class to the "before" state.
And I would have sat down for a couple of years for the destruction of the moon. property, vandalism and hooliganism.
Once I read your topic crookedly and answered it crookedly. I will try again.
A school, if it is a public educational institution, and not a private sharashka, is a subsidized organization that is not authorized to enter into any commodity-money relations with individuals, especially with employees, in addition to issuing salaries. Likewise, any kind of service provided by outside parties to the school is either budgeted or charitable.
The classroom renovation described in CT was not included in the school's budget. There are no contracts for the provision of classroom renovation services by teachers and cannot exist. In fact, the character did it nicely to the director and the caretaker at his own expense. Any verbal agreements are never taken into account. No commitment de jure the school administration did not take it upon itself.
But at the time of the transition of materials and items from the category “goods purchased by the CHL” into the category of “part of the class repair” the character de jure voluntarily and gratuitously donated them and his work for the benefit of the school. He became a priest, in short.
He lost his rights to these items. Any of his actions with these objects after the completion of the repair (dismantling, huentage, even if you call it a pot, do not put the current in the oven (s)), not coordinated with the school administration, will already be unauthorized damage to state property.
This is all quite detailed and sounds neat, but I would like to see specific legal norms that support the arguments with the words “de jure”.
Otherwise, it turns out that if I brought a painting to work and hung it over the table for beauty, then I lost my rights to it and automatically handed it over to the company without fail, and now I cannot take it back upon dismissal.
There is the concept of an inseparable improvement in a room. That is, one that will affect the condition of the room for the worse during dismantling.
This is for you to consult and dig. I am not a lawyer, I say that I know.
Otherwise, it turns out that if I brought a painting to work and hung it over the table for beauty, then I lost my rights to it and automatically handed it over to the company without fail, and now I cannot take it back upon dismissal.
Maybe so. Any legal entity person, there is a list of regulations governing economic activities. They are always different and there can be anything.
Good afternoon. The school has no money for repairs, they decided to ennoble the class with the help of parents. The budget is small - a maximum of 25,000 rubles. With this money, you need to decently make walls and a ceiling. On one's own )).
I ask for your advice.
We assume to sheathe the walls with sheet panels (on the crate) and make the ceiling hinged or panels (the budget is small, perhaps not the entire ceiling, but along the contour - the middle of the ceiling is in order). The option with panels was chosen due to the fact that there are already 3-4 layers of peeling oil paint on the walls, which is long and expensive to clean off.
We will do it ourselves, so we are looking for simple options .. but economical)).
That's always the way, as repairs, so by the forces of the parents. I wonder why in the KREMLIN, repairs by the forces of officials are not done. -
P / S sorry could not resist. -
The money allocated for the school this year was only enough for the renovation of the assembly hall. ))) And in three years we will go to high school, we are afraid that we will not wait for money
Well, yes, the Kremlin officials will make the same repairs for themselves as for themselves the laws. They are goats, they don’t know how to do nichrome (and most importantly they don’t want to) humanly, they will probably screw up even themselves.
Seriously. It is unrealistic for 25 thousand panels, and they will not be allowed to pass by fire safety. Again, poison children with plasticizers, do you need it ?! There were 3 layers - there will be a fourth. And on top, invite the children to paint with pictures from spray cans.
Tell me, how do they make them in kitchens in apartments? if you poison. After all, many instead of tiles put laminated sheet panels “under the tiles” ..
Is it possible to put some kind of thread on the oil paint, and on it something like liquid wallpaper or decorative plaster? Well, in order not to level the walls, but, on the contrary, to make them specially uneven ..
Yann: - Glue, glass wallpaper for painting.

I support. And the ceiling "Armstrong", although I'm not sure that the money will be enough, but quickly and beautifully.
Small budget
Yann: - Foam tiles on the ceiling, you can't find cheaper materials. Take it to Leroy.
I wonder why in the KREMLIN, the repairs are not done by officials. -

Guys, glue the upholstery, paint the ceiling with paint. No need for "Amstrongs" and strained children in elementary school! Make it neat and beautiful. and for the rest of the money, buy some cool panels!
2Vovkina Suspended Chinese ceiling of the "Armstrong" type is very cheap, but flammable cladding in public and children's premises is prohibited
How is the lighting implemented there? If you make a pendant, how will you place the lamps? it also costs money.
It is better to just paint the walls, because children will instantly bomb all the panels. Whitewash the ceiling.
Arrange a subbotnik (if you have collected money so little by little), paint over. Uneven, but clean and fresh.
At the same time, learn to plaster.)))

Really. Laminate panels become frayed, scratched and dirty very quickly and cannot be cleaned. Plus they smell.
“In the kitchen” - a couple of squares and the smell may not be so noticeable and masked. In the classroom - several tens of meters, and the smell is always noticeable, even from old panels it does not disappear (especially chipboard ones are - it's just horror).
Vovkina wrote:
there are already 3-4 layers of peeling oil paint on the walls
This is an advantage in repair - a thick layer, and even prone to peeling, is easier to rip off! :-)))))
If the plaster is old, it must be cement. And to fix it with cement plaster - it is quite budgetary and within the power of any novice construction brigade, and even more so for adult uncles.
Putty on top - you can already choose what. And you can paint with an inexpensive water-soluble paint - it will lie on the old oil paint and on the repaired places. In several layers.
Ceiling - to repair cracks and paint. The trick is that it is high and the flaws are invisible. Plus, there is no need to align it, the waves on it are not striking like on the walls (unless someone will stare at it in the classroom and spit).
The child moved to grade 5, a new cool territory was allocated. We had a parent meeting a week before September 1, in order to show us the class and find out our next steps. Entering this class, if you can call it that, all the parents were left in wild horror. It was a real shed with wires hanging from the ceiling instead of lamps, with a huge hole in the middle of the writing board, with a crumbling floor, etc. In general, the point is that we still knocked out another classroom for a while, until we make repairs in ours. Naturally, we will do the repairs entirely at our own expense. Suggest options and ideas for a quick but beautiful renovation in the classroom.
Unfortunately, your case is not an isolated one. Of course, it is possible and even necessary to frighten the management with the prosecutor's office, but more often than not it all ends in nothing, because the other parents say: “You go, and we will support”, and in fact, everything is in the bushes. afraid then of prejudice against his child from teachers. Regarding all the same repairs (most likely you will have to do it anyway), the best option would be to take and stick wallpaper on the walls for painting (you can update every year, repainted and that's it), on the floor, naturally, the best option would be linoleum (the class should be at least half-commercial) , for an electrician, it is better to take fluorescent ceiling lamps (economically and efficiently) and ease of fastening.
In your case, a statement to the prosecutor's office will help to quickly and efficiently carry out repairs. Schools receive money from the state to renovate classrooms, and where they spend it is the problem of the prosecutor's office. You do not have to pay for school repairs.In real life, it is clear that you are worried about your reputation in the eyes of the school principal and how the teachers will treat your child - just start a rumor that one of the parents is going to complain about it, and money for repairs will quickly be found.
School classroom renovation ideas?
Holidays are just around the corner and there will be time to put in order the school premises, facades and roofs.
The company Abitarstroyinvest will help you make high-quality repairs at the school, without spending a lot of effort and financial resources. We use only safe, environmentally friendly and sustainable materials. The decoration of the school will be of high quality, safe and durable.
Most often, such institutions think more about cosmetic repairs. And this is a great option for annual renovation, such a finish allows you to refresh the room and maintain a beautiful view. But we can carry out, if necessary, major repairs in a child care facility. During major repairs, communication systems or power grids are changed, redevelopment of rooms, staff offices or utility rooms are made. We also carry out repairs of any roof, stairs and other corners of the premises.
Experienced specialists of the company will make major repairs at the school quickly and efficiently. The cost of repairing and finishing the school can be found by calling us on the phone: +7 (495) 505-29-37, a full estimate for the repair of a child's institution is calculated when our specialist visits the facility.
Renovation in a classroom is neither quick nor beautiful. Everything is too standardized there. First, you solve all wiring problems. Most likely there are aluminum wires, incl. use the same ones that are cheaper than copper. Buy lamps that provide the required luminous flux. Whitewash the ceiling and install lamps. Then putty and paint the walls. You can putty with any gypsum plaster mixture and any putty. You can choose a cheaper one. If they start picking at the walls, they will pick out the dear one too. It is possible to paint according to modern standards only with water-based paint. Before painting, agree with the school administration on the color and shade, otherwise they will say that it is worthless and will be forced to repaint. After painting the walls, hang the board and lay the linoleum if necessary. This completes the renovation of the school class. There is nowhere to boo or save money.
Unfortunately, your case is now not an isolated one. Of course, you can and even need to scare the management with the prosecutor's office, but most often it all ends in nothing, because the other parents say: “You go, and we will support”, and in fact, everything is in the bushes if h. Everyone is afraid of the teachers' prejudice towards their child afterwards.
Regarding all the same repairs (most likely you will have to do it anyway), the best option would be to take and glue wallpaper on the walls for painting (you can update every year, repainted it too), on the floor, naturally, the best option would be linoleum (the class should be at least half-commercial) , for an electrician, it is better to take fluorescent ceiling lamps (economically and efficiently) and lightness in the mount.
In your case, a statement to the prosecutor's office will help to quickly and efficiently carry out repairs. Schools receive money from the state to renovate classrooms, and where they spend it is the problem of the prosecutor's office. You do not have to pay for school repairs. In real life, it is clear that you are worried about your confusion in the eyes of the school principal and how the teachers will treat your child - just start a rumor that a parent is going to complain about it, and money for repairs will quickly be found.
The original and stylish design of modern schools - functional and cheerful interiors that help to explore the world and learn. Free planning, bright design, competent organization of space - our ideas for renovating schools, which you will see above, take into account the latest scientific developments.
Motivating a child to perceive information and learn is extremely important and rather difficult. Photos of the best schools will help you look at learning in a new way.
Educational institutions are an important part of life for a child. From the very childhood, people attend preschool institutions, including nurseries, development schools and kindergartens, getting involved in games, communication, regular learning something new. Next comes middle, elementary and high schools, which are categorized as secondary educational institutions.
A new stage of life begins after entering institutes, colleges, universities that belong to the category of higher educational institutions. Each of the educational institutions gives a person something new. But especially important are schools that provide basic knowledge, without which it will be extremely difficult to enter a university and continue your studies.
The interior and general atmosphere greatly contributes to the perception of this or that information. Therefore, in the modern world, great attention is paid to the design of schools. Among other things, such establishments are favorably distinguished by their design, which you probably noticed from our photos.
This page is dedicated to the interior design of educational institutions such as schools. At the same time, looking through our photos, you will notice that the interior of the school is quite specific: you need spacious halls, wide corridors, bright classrooms, high-quality furniture, etc. And if you are thinking about who will create the school project, then we immediately want to warn you that this is a rather expensive pleasure and offer to do everything ourselves, listening to our ideas and looking at the photos.
Study the projects, go to other pages of our site, where the repair processes are described in detail, watch the video, and you will succeed, even if you had no previous experience in this.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the best and new ideas for equipping schools, surprising modern design, original interior and the very appearance of the building. Photos of the best and most beautiful schools, be they private or public institutions, modern projects that will delight you with the interior and design, can be viewed on this page.
The school class deserves special attention, where students spend most of their time. Naturally, such a place should be attractive so that students want to go there. However, making repairs, few people are interested in the opinion of the children themselves.
Almost all schools use white or blue paint to renovate classrooms. Of course, there are also educational institutions in which classrooms are painted green, pink. This is more likely due to the director's whim or lack of paint of the required color.
Many believe that white, which is a symbol of purity, is appropriate for the class. The only drawback is that they get dirty quickly. But in fact, the white color of the walls negatively affects the thinking of students, since it gives emptiness. In a classroom with these walls, students think much slower. At the same time, I want the children not to have any original ideas. Therefore, it is better not to paint the class with this color.
Sometimes, entering a classroom, you can see walls of light green color. It is considered protective, so it is better to refuse it. In addition, it looks ugly.
Yellow or peach color works well for class. This makes students think faster, which is confirmed by many doctors and psychologists.
Is it standard practice to renovate a classroom before first class? Something puzzled us so and there is no clarity: who will do it, how much it will result.

“What should we build a house (school)? Let's draw - we will live! " Alas and ah, but only children's imagination allows you to solve any problems with such ease. On the other hand, this non-trivial decision contains quite an everyday meaning. Just as it is impossible to get somewhere (without setting a goal - where, in fact, we are going), it is also impossible to get an educational space that is beautiful in the broadest sense of the word - if you do not first draw what we want to get in the end.
Repairs, even just cosmetic ones, hardly evoke exclusively positive emotions in the majority of those reading these lines. And most often such types of work are recalled as - to conclude a contract, to hire a team, to make sure that the work is carried out accurately and efficiently, while repairing one - they do not destroy the other, and then there are mountains of rubbish ... And the color of the walls? Oh, this is the simplest! Yes, let it be "yellow" - before it was so and nothing, no one was against it - so everyone liked it. Or add some more beige ... and green! Because green is beautiful!
Raya Ivanovskaya, head of the 33dodo design studio, an expert in the design of educational space, also believes that “green is beautiful!”, But ... And we’ll talk about these “buts” in this article.
Often, when they talk about the design of schools, they first of all mean - to decorate with something the walls of many meters of corridors, recreations, classrooms, etc. And they completely forget that just "correct" painting of the walls can already half-solve this problem. In our country, not so long ago, they began to pay attention to this, and first of all (unfortunately or fortunately) - when building new schools with their new architectural solution - that's where beauty in all its splendor. And those schools that were built many years ago, more often from repair to repair, simply update the paint, especially without thinking about the fact that you can (and should!) Change the color, add different colors, add brightness, some kind of graphic elements. Already just the correct painting of the walls can radically change the space beyond recognition! And then you can deal with the design (semantic) of some special zones.
You can, of course, look at vivid photographs of newly built schools and, perhaps, even envy them ... But in your own school you can get as close as possible to such a seemingly unattainable "ideal".
Since summer is approaching - the time for cosmetic repairs for schools, in response to requests from our partners, we have expanded the range of services with a new special offer - the development of a design project for the interior painting of the school.
You get not just an individual solution for your school, but, most importantly, a complete package of accompanying documentation, which removes the need to make any additional decisions in the process, since it has answers to all questions: a detailed description and clear instructions for painting: color scheme, use of stencils (if necessary), calculated consumption of paints, etc. With such a project, you can accurately calculate the budget for painting and entrust it to any qualified contractor and once and for all deprive yourself of the questions: "Mistress, how are we going to paint here?"
When working on a design project, it is important to take into account (and we do!) Many factors: the presence of a logo and corporate identity, the color and material of the floor, the specialization of the room and, of course, the age of the students. You must admit that elementary school students and graduates behave differently in public spaces, and even perceive colors differently.
This is exactly the case when it is better to see once than read a hundred times.
Below are some examples of how the feeling of space and its perception changes simply by painting the walls.
After the painting phase is completed, you can start the decoration process.
Of course, I want to change everything at once - literally in one month. In practice, however, most often this does not happen. Therefore, we, together with our partners, determine, based on the importance and opportunities, the sequence of work - which spaces need to be arranged in the first place, which ones can wait.
In this case, the following groups are most often formed:
- entrance area (the face of your school; the first thing that every visitor sees and after which he has a definite opinion about the school),
- specialized spaces (assembly hall, dining room, gym),
- corridors and recreation,
- classes ...
We will talk about specialized spaces in a separate article.
Now let's note the important thing - these are the main directions (meanings and ideas) used in the design.
Think about how you want your school to be perceived by visitors?
Visitors, by the way, are also all different - they are existing students (and their parents) and potential students; teachers - both those who are working now and those - whom you want to see in your ranks; representatives of various government agencies and sometimes even just residents of your area.
“Learn! Be creative! Think! Take action! " - these and other motivating phrases, coupled with well-chosen images, can motivate students, be a constant reminder that “everything is in their hands”!
The information on the wall can teach you something. What is written in the textbooks is lessons, homework ... And the same information, but framed within the space, attracts the attention of students and, paradoxically, but a fact, is unconsciously remembered better!
Remember the episode from the movie "The Wizards", where the hero of Semyon Farada wandered around the building: "People! Hey! " It is remembered with a smile, but some visitors to your building feel about the same.
Navigation is not only about signs on offices. This is a whole system, which, on the one hand, clearly shows what and where is, on the other hand, it can become an independent, very striking design element.
Of course, schoolchildren have the richest imagination. (And every time you are convinced of this, listening to their completely sincere stories about why they were late for class or did not do their homework).
You can decorate the space not with ready-made meanings, but with images and colors and give them the opportunity to invent, feel, and imagine an "Incredible Story"!
What is your school like? What is her personality? What values and principles do you promote? In addition to the fact that it is important for you to answer these questions for yourself, it is also important to convey this information to your audience. If you don’t tell them who and what you are, they will come up with it for you.
In addition to the standard information for placement (for example, a lesson schedule), it is important to provide students with a place where they can communicate with each other, find participants for a joint project, post an announcement about lost things or "Give the kitten into good hands" ... Do not be afraid that they will write "something is not right." If they do not have the opportunity to place an advertisement or information for each other - can they consider the school as their second home?
Museums, cinemas, sports facilities and libraries in your city or your area can all be placed on the map.The map itself can be made voluminous - made of cork or chipboard - and stylishly and, more importantly, useful - a constant reminder of how (useful and interesting) they can spend their free time.
"A gloomy day is brighter from a smile" (c)
A school is a huge space in which various emotional streams are formed during the day, sometimes ready to demolish everything in their path. Provide for the placement of any objects or images, the task of which is simply to make a smile, set a person in a positive way. Also, remember that different spaces suggest different moods (for example, in the dining room and in the assembly hall).
Photos in themselves relay positive emotions, showing how interesting and bright school life can be. At the same time, the design of a photo exhibition, of course, must be appropriate - in order to attract attention to itself, but not spoil the overall impression.
You can (and should!) Do it just “very, very cool” so that the students and guests of your school cannot pass by and take a photo, then post the photo on their pages in social networks, perhaps even showing off a little to their friends. A beautifully and unusually decorated wall can become the hallmark of your school! Use this opportunity!
We have been engaged in the design and complex decoration of educational space in turnkey schools for about 5 years, in our portfolio there are dozens of successfully completed works. You can see the description of services and portfolio by link.
