It was completed last summer construction of first stage facilities, including an educational building and a leisure center Specialized educational and scientific center of NSU, better known to Novosibirsk residents as the Physics and Mathematics School or FMSh.
Even at the construction stage, both the university management and representatives of the Novosibirsk Region government repeatedly emphasized that this was not just about new buildings, but about creating a new type of school using the most advanced technologies, both educational and engineering.
— No school in the country has such equipment for conducting experimental classes, and only a few schools in the world can boast of this. This allows us to conduct training at the most advanced level, which, in turn, brings victories to the students of the physics and mathematics school at world Olympiads in various subjects. This focus on the best, which is the basis of the campus project, allows us to evaluate it as a world-class facility, — emphasized Vice-Governor of the Novosibirsk Region Irina Manuilova during her latest visit to the construction site.
Six months have passed, and teachers and students have been able to verify from their own experience how the school passage itself has changed after the move and whether the generous predictions about the new type of school have come true.
— Work in the old and new buildings are as different as heaven and earth. In the old building, we organized training based on the principle of “it doesn’t matter where we gather, the main thing is that we are together and united by a common goal.” Now, we have at our disposal a multitude of tools, opportunities, and enough space to achieve maximum results in our work, — noted Roman Bredikhin, Associate Professor of the Chemistry Department of the NSU SUNC.
Large spaces become the foundation for students’ creativity. They allow changing the configuration of study places in the classroom to suit the tasks of a specific lesson: separate tables for tests or exams, team tables for group work, and so on.
Another advantage was the engineering infrastructure of the academic building.
— For example, in chemical laboratories, individual equipment of workplaces is provided, right down to personal exhaust hoods and gas distribution to workplaces. This allows us to conduct experiments in an inert environment with protection from oxygen and moisture contained in the air, to carry out those syntheses and implement such projects that were unthinkable in the old building, — said Roman Bredikhin.
As a result, the school staff faced a certain challenge: the new buildings make it possible to significantly expand the scope of projects carried out by schoolchildren.
— In fact, we often suggest now: guys, let’s bring your idea to life and it will be a demonstration experiment that you will leave as a keepsake at school. And this approach finds a response, — concluded Roman Bredikhin.
The students themselves agreed with his assessment of the changes in school life after the move.
— Of course, the old building had its own atmosphere, which was formed by generations of previous graduates. But I like this building more — there is an emphasis on everything new, new classrooms, recreation areas, areas for a variety of leisure activities, and most importantly — there is enough space here to be able to be creative from the heart, both in terms of studying and in creativity outside of class, — shared his opinion Kirill Volodin, a student of class 11-4.
— The area here is large and the buildings are impressive in their technological advancement. But at the same time, they are planned in such a way that everyone can find a place to immerse themselves in their project or study material, and nothing will disturb you. Of course, I, like many others, have certain pleasant memories associated with the old building, but I do not regret moving at all. I like studying in the new buildings much more, — added Polina Brezhneva, a student in class 11-5.
