Vivin İnşaat, which has made a name for itself not only with hospital construction projects that require specialized expertise but also with “technology- and education-focused” school building projects, is set to make a difference with its Ankara Liv Koleji project. Stating that construction is progressing at full speed and that the project will begin its educational operations next year, Vivin İnşaat Founder Architect Sevcan Bora said, “As we shape the educational architecture of the future, we place technology at the center of our designs.”
Construction of Ankara Liv Koleji, launched with the goal of “becoming one of Ankara’s leading educational institutions,” is continuing at full pace. Built on a 7,400-square-meter plot with a total enclosed area of 11,200 square meters, the school is being constructed continuously by an expert team. Designed as a four-story building, the project includes three laboratories in the kindergarten section, IT, robotics, and science, 12 classrooms, three separate workshops, and a 70-square-meter gym. The main building will also house 20 primary school classrooms and 19 middle school classrooms. The school will additionally feature a 115-square-meter library, a 500-seat conference hall, and a 460-seat cafeteria, along with two multipurpose sports halls.
SPECIAL MATERIALS AND SYSTEMS
With safety prioritized in the project, special care has been taken to ensure that materials used in areas frequently touched by children are resistant to breaking and shattering. The building was designed with a special layout to prevent circulation areas used by different age groups of students from intersecting. Recreation areas were also designed specifically to enable students to socialize.
In addition, many areas of the project incorporate up-to-date technologies. EI5-type wet-rotor circulation pumps are being used to provide a more compact system that operates quietly, eliminates heating issues, and ensures long service life. A DX coil has been selected for the air handling unit. In this way, the building automation system will manage operations, enabling significant energy savings. A smart building system will be installed for all lighting used inside the building and across the landscape, making energy savings possible. Building security is being enhanced to the highest level by integrating fire, sound, CCTV, and card access systems, connecting all building systems to one another. Systems to be installed in the conference hall will include professional audio, video, lighting, and acoustic solutions, and will also be controllable from a control room. Video conferencing systems in meeting rooms will be interconnected to ensure full integration.
TO BE COMPLETED IN APRIL 2026
Stating that the rapidly progressing Ankara Liv Koleji project is planned to be completed in April 2026, Vivin İnşaat Founder Architect Sevcan Bora said, “As with every educational project we undertake, we did not design Ankara Liv Koleji with commercial concerns. We believe educational institutions are among the most important structures within public service spaces.”
Architect Sevcan Bora, who said, “We aim to design spaces that target progress and, while progressing, also aim to produce,” continued as follows:
“For us, a school is a place where the foundations of the productive individuals of the future are laid. Therefore, we work to create a space that is comfortable, safe, aesthetic, free from distractions, reinforces a sense of belonging for students, and one that families can entrust their children to with confidence. As Vivin İnşaat, while shaping the educational architecture of the future, we place technology at the center of our designs. With innovative solutions, we aim to enhance the comfort of parents and students. For us, the most important success is to create an environment where every individual receiving education here feels good and knows their family is safe. Ankara Liv Koleji is the product of an approach that values people, lives in harmony with nature and the city, and brings the educational standards of the future into today. With this vision, we will continue in every project to improve life and expand our human-centered design approach.”
