EMÜ CAMPUS PROJECT
What is the EMÜ campus project?
The campus project began in the fall of 2023 with the idea of making the university campus more attractive and inviting for students from each institute. The project is part of the April/landscape architecture month program of 2024 organized by EMÜS.
Why was the EEC campus project created?
The school's territory is in a very poor condition. A lot of empty space that sits unused. In order to increase the presence of students in our campus, we need to make it a pleasant place where people want to spend time. In nice weather, between classes and after class, it would be great to study, have lunch or be with friends in the fresh air.
The importance of the problem between the students and staff of our school was also revealed in the campus project questionnaire. People care about the environment around them and they wanted a change in our town. It is an environment that we are all obliged to use on a daily basis, but whose functions and appearance leave much to be desired.
At the moment, we see that the school does not contribute enough to the campus public space, which is why we would like to do it ourselves. At the moment, we can rely on the survey conducted last year, our own knowledge, and the knowledge we learned at school.
Vision - Tactical urbanism
Tactical urbanism includes initiatives designed to significantly renew the urban space, promoting the interests of the neighborhood or community and trying to create added value to public services. Such spatial interventions have been implemented a lot in the world. Based on various examples, it is possible to select and implement in our town exactly those solutions that are best suited here.

How far have we come?
At the moment, we have placed holiday houses and greenhouses around the dormitories, which we are going to tidy up and create value for them. The project is in full swing, and this spring we will take the first steps to make our university campus more student-friendly and lively. Small changes add up to big things, and soon all of us in town will have more opportunities to relax, meet friends and enjoy the outdoor space around us on a sunny day.
