Renovated facilities at Pispala School commissioned

In the Pispala School renovation, the facilities originally built in 1915, 1922 and 1943 and last renovated in 1984, have been modernised.

The renovation work has been carried out in accordance with the school's old style, for example by restoring furniture and original doors. The basic organisation of the school facilities has remained largely unchanged. Pre-school and primary education facilities are focussed on the first floor. 

School health care and student welfare services are located on the second floor. The largest classrooms have been modified to suit small group activities. In addition, a lift and additional toilets have been built for Pispala School.

After the improvements, Pispala School has facilities for approximately 260 pupils in basic education. Pre-school facilities are available for 50 pupils.
