Improvement of the infrastructure and learning environment of Kalnsēta Primary School

The aim of the project is to improve the infrastructure and learning environment of Kalnsēta Primary School in order to increase the capacity of a special educational institution for the provision of high-quality special education.The target group - a special educational institution founded by the municipality - Kalnsēta Primary School, its teachers and students.The accessibility of the environment is not ensured in the special educational institution. Panduss is built on the front side of the building, but it does not solve accessibility problems, because the interior is not adapted, the floors are not on the same level. Among the floors there are stairs, but they are not adapted for people with special needs, seniors and mothers with children, learners and educators with reduced mobility, not allowing them to move freely between the floors or creating difficulties. Most school interior doors do not have the appropriate width, which creates a barrier for people with wheelchairs or other groups of movement restrictions. There are no customised WCs that are created by re-planning existing WC rooms. Without the lift, it is impossible to provide access to the other floors of the building, study rooms from the inside of the building. Consequently, the project envisages the construction of a lift and the provision of accessibility from the newly created designated parking lot to the lift. In the basement of the building there are moisture-induced damage, which must be eliminated. Waterproofing of the plinth will be carried out only at the place of construction of the elevator. Adaptation of the building for use by all: the works under the project result in accessibility and convenience for all people, regardless of their physical abilities or specific needs. As a result of the project, the "obstacles and barriers" that prevent learners with disabilities and other disabilities from exercising their rights are removed.In order to achieve the objective of the project, the following main activities are included:1.Development of technical documentation (technical survey, geotechnical research, visualisation, consultation with non-governmental organisations, design, temporary energy certificate, scope of works for the procurement of construction works). The action started before the submission of the project application. Technical survey and geotechnical research will help to identify specific problems with the structure and subsoil of the building, allowing for precise and effective solutions. Design and temporary energy certification will guarantee that all works are planned with sustainability, reducing the long-term environmental impact.2.Reconstruction of the building and making the environment available for study rooms:2.1. Improving the accessibility of the environment by adapting indoor spaces for persons with special needs, promoting the use of the building for learners with reduced mobility. Ensuring the width of doors in accordance with regulatory requirements, including the widening of columns and the replacement of doors. Levelling the floor level, providing for the replacement of the cover. Replanning/rebuilding of individual premises in accordance with the design task. Carrying out finishing works in premises where environmental accessibility improvements and rebuilding have been carried out. Visual information. Re-planning/conversion of premises allows optimising the use of premises and provides access to all students regardless of their physical abilities. Levelling the floor level and replacing the pavement improves the safety and accessibility of the premises by removing thresholds and other barriers. Ensuring the width of doors meets regulatory requirements, providing free access for people with reduced mobility. Carrying out finishing works improves the aesthetics and functionality of the premises, while ensuring that improvements are aligned with accessibility standards. Visual information helps to navigate the premises and promotes the inclusion of all students. Replacement of external doors, as well as provision of access to the stage, which is used for the study process.2.2.Construction of a carriageway with a anteroom to ensure the accessibility of the environment to all school premises on all school floors. Facade finish only for the volume to be rebuilt - within the boundaries of the rebuilt columns. Waterproofing of the plinth of the building in places where it is necessary, according to the construction project. During the construction works, only the part of the facade that is affected during the construction of the elevator is affected, and waterproofing works are carried out only in these places. The technical survey confirms that there is no need to carry out socle waterproofing works for the entire building. See attached technical survey.2.3.Reconstruction of existing bathrooms and creation of a new bathroom for people with special needs. Ensures that all users, including those with
