In 2010, the Regional Council in Olomouc decided to replace the “temporary” building in the school courtyard which had been used for decades. The tender specifications were aimed at providing sufficient capacity of teaching premises and building a new, larger gym and a canteen. This was the basis of the construction tender specifications.
