Works on the Chitila Eco-School on schedule

Location: 36 Școlii Street, Chitila, Ilfov County
Works on the future Chitila Eco Primary School are progressing on schedule. The project is being delivered for the Chitila Town Administrative-Territorial Unit (U.A.T. Oraș Chitila) under the concept "Education for a green future".
Phased execution
Works are carried out in phases so that pupils can continue classes in the existing building on site (General School No. 3) throughout the first phase. Once the new building is complete, teaching will move into it and the old building will be decommissioned.
The building
The new school is a single-block GF+1F building with a reinforced concrete structure on continuous foundations and brick infill walls. It comprises 7 classrooms, an events hall of over 80 sqm and an administrative area (staff room, offices, medical and psychology rooms). Teaching spaces face south-east, with large windows for natural light. The building accommodates 191 people and falls under importance class III.
Sustainability features
- Renewable energy: a photovoltaic system on the roof terrace.
- Water management: a retention tank of at least 12 m³ collecting rainwater from the roof, used to irrigate the green areas.
- Building envelope: 15 cm rigid mineral wool insulation, a ventilated façade in shades of green and metal structures for climbing plants.
Outdoor areas
The 1,077 sqm recreational area will include a multi-purpose sports court (basketball, handball, volleyball) with a synthetic tartan surface, a sensory area with sand and outdoor musical instruments, and a permaculture area with vegetable beds and fruit trees. The yard will have solar-powered outdoor lighting and charging points for electric bicycles and scooters.
