The maps illustrate the current layout of a university and how it is expected to develop in the future.
Overall, the university will undergo significant changes, most notably the introduction of a library and sports halls, as well as the expansion of the teaching area.
At present, an administration office is located in the northwest of the site, with a car park adjacent to it, while sports fields lie to the south. In the future, the office will remain, with a reception added in its northeast corner. The car park will be redeveloped into a café and a library. The western part of the sports fields will be retained, whereas the eastern section will be converted into sports halls.
Currently, the teaching area is situated in the eastern part of the campus and consists of two rows of classrooms, along with a staffroom, separated by a corridor. According to the plan, a third row of classrooms and a computer room will be added to the east. The staffroom will be expanded by replacing one of the existing classrooms, and a science lab will be constructed in the southeast corner.
