On 18 July, the interregional student construction project “Alkor” was launched in Voronezh. The project was dedicated to the construction of the largest school in Russia, which is being built within the framework of the national project “Education” in 2023. The opening ceremony of the project at the construction site was attended by Alexander Gusev, Governor of the Voronezh Region. Among the participants of the project were nine VSU students who belong to the team Serp i Molot (“Hammer and Sickle”).
The job of the students from Voronezh, Tambov, Ryazan, Moscow, and Mogilev (Republic of Belarus) was to do finishing and preliminary works.
The mega-school is designed for 110 classes or 2,800 pupils. The school will also become part of a large “social hub” which includes a sports cluster, a children’s art school for 1,400 students, a library branch, a kindergarten for 600 children and a clinical hospital for 1,100 visits per shift with an ambulance substation.
“We are engaged in landscape works: we level the ground and dig trenches. Five student teams are involved in the construction: Polytech (Ryazan), Zodiac (Tambov), Titan (Belarus), Agon (Moscow), and us. Naturally, the work is challenging but we are trying to do our best,” said Sergei Stroilo, the head of the Serp i Molot student team, a second year student from the Faculty of Physics of VSU.
The work is to be finished on 25 August.
