Dream school
The end users of Hamina school in Ii are happy with their new building.
“Our school is brilliant, beautiful, and modern. It is exactly what we hoped for. The school creates a new spirit to the curriculum.” Jari-Jukka Jokela, Principal of Hamina school in Ii.
The multi-functional facilities suit different methods of teaching. They support all-round learning and are adaptable. The teachers can create pleasant learning spaces for the children with partition walls and vacant space. Even the hallways can be used as a workspace. These uses of space support the new idea of learning that emphasises the role of pupils as active actors and learning as interaction.
The design of the school has been particularly praised for its spaciousness and colourfulness. The roomy spaces and bright colours make the school a fun environment for the children to learn and play in. The front of the school is cladded with light-coloured timber and has vibrant green details.
