Alexandre Dumas School Additions

Notes

Krikor Kalayciyan was in charge of renovating the Alexandre Dumas School (which was built in the 1970s), with Mona Draghici as a local architect. In addition to the renovation works that started in 2002, new buildings were erected, including:

1) A housing building, conceived between 2002 and 2003. The reinforced concrete building possesses a basement, ground floor, and two floors. Every floor includes two identical apartments, each 94 m2. The project added 570 m2 of housing to the already built 1515 m2 on campus. 

2) An extension of 1440 m2 to the Collège Français, conceived between 2007 and 2008. The original building of 2700 m2 includes a ground floor and three floors. The extension, at ground floor and first floor levels, happened in two locations. Part of the extension's terrace is used as a suspended playground.
