University citizens have voted for the new facade of the old Medical School main building
December 12, 2022
The faculty leadership has asked for the opinions of Medical School citizens about the three new options for the new main building façade in an online vote.
As it was known before, the old main building of the Pépcs Medical School is awaiting a big outer renovation. The façade renovation is already in the planning phase, and the plans made by dr. Ákos Schreck, architect at the Minusplus architecture and designer office have already been shown in a video to the university public.
The designers have emphasized the different viewpoints of the building when coming up with the plans – the building shows a different face from each side. They would also like for the building to send a message, to show that the UP MS is a defining, long-history building in Pécs, where international education and innovative research share a space, and where community, openness and diversity are emphasized with a close perspective.
892 educators, students and faculty employees have participated in the vote. The most “yes” votes, 625 to be exact, were given to the “We are all part of a greater whole” concept; it only received 267 “no” votes. This plan is a lot closer to nature than the other ones. The “Heart of the POTE” concept got 390 yeses and 502 no-s, and the “Matter of view” concept received 256 yeses and 636 no-s.
The concept receiving the most votes will be turned into an execution design.
