The new building will be located in the "West" district, Plovdiv - cadastral parcel IV-514.2000. The area of the plot is 9525 square meters, with no existing buildings or passing networks and facilities of the technical infrastructure on the property.
See locationThe Municipality of Plovdiv is seeking conceptual designs for the construction of a new building for Secondary School "St. Patriarch Evtimiy" on the specified site, to facilitate transition to single-shift education for students from eighth to twelfth grade.
The new building must accommodate a capacity of 780 children and a built-up area of 3700 sq. m. / total floor area of 6500 sq. m., along with normatively defined specialized and servicing premises, courtyard areas (3920 sq. m.).
The idea must meet the following requirements:
Construction of a new building with modern and efficiently organized school spaces;
Introduction of an innovative approach in architectural and interior design of the classroom;
Creation of opportunities for multifunctionality of spaces, through easy transformation and the possibility of creating free flow from one functional zone to another.
Currently, Secondary School "St. Patriarch Evtimiy" is housed in a building in the city center at 19 Ivan Vazov Street, where children from 5th to 12th grade are educated. The same building has no possibility for expansion, and the high interest in the school necessitates a two-shift teaching mode for a total of 1,177 students. By constructing a new building, conditions will be provided for the education of 565 children who are currently in the gymnasium stage in the building at 19 Ivan Vazov Street.
In 1937, a mixed gymnasium was established in Plovdiv. Five years later, in 1942, it was divided into two schools, one of which was the Second Girls' Gymnasium "Queen Joanna." In 1945, the school was renamed after Lilyana Dimitrova. In 1950, the gymnasium merged with some of the students from the First Boys' Gymnasium and students from the First and Third Progymnasium. Thus, the Second Unified Mixed School "Lilyana Dimitrova" was created.
On November 20, 1991, according to a decision of the Municipal Council in Plovdiv, the school was renamed to Secondary School "St. Patriarch Evtimiy". Since August 1, 2016, the school has been called Secondary School "St. Patriarch Evtimiy".
