“The new educational space is designed for 260 children and makes it possible to organize a full-fledged in-person educational process even during air raid alerts. The underground facility is equipped with eight classrooms, a medical room, a dining room, restrooms, and showers. The shelter is autonomous thanks to two independent power sources and backup generators,” the statement says.

The shelter is connected to the kindergarten buildings by safe passageways, allowing children and staff to reach it without going outside.
