Text description provided by the architects. The University is located on one of the main streets of Rezekne, at the very center of the city. The total area of university campus is 4.2ha. The campus is surrounded by Soviet era housing projects – groups of buildings in various sizes that lack any logical structure, but part of the campus itself dates back to 1920s and is a historical landmark. Latvian architect Pauls Kundzins designed its central building in 1927 for the use of Teachers Institute. Back in 1920s the building was surrounded by a park and some trees have remained from that time to this day. The structure of the new greenery is formed by integrating the existing trees, as well as new decorative plantings groups at the building’s entrance areas, which marks the front axis of the main entrance. The square is a core element of the new greenery concept, as it illustrates projects profile specifics – engineering.
