Original buildings of university canteen and dormitories by architect Karel Prager are only the torso of the originally proposed university campus on the Vltava river bank. The canteen building from last century eighties had indisputable architectural quality adequate to date of origin. However for the new use radical change was necessary.
The proposal of conversion keeps the outer shape and proportions of the original canteen building. The main intervention is creating a generous central hall space with upper light coming through the trusses of the rooflight. The central hall with a pair staircases becomes heart and a social center of the faculty. Cantilevered arcades located on the perimeter of the central hall provide access to the seminar rooms and teachers offices. There are lecture halls, auditorium, faculty´s library and deanery located on the lowest floor.
The space is dominated by set of relaxing seating furniture in orange colour.

Among the used materials faced concrete combined with fine metal suspended ceiling`s mesh, black floor screed and white wooden elements.
Structurally glazed outer facade is proposed as an acoustic barrier to the noise from route of the city circuit in the vicinity of the building. Double skin facade allows for natural ventilation and regulated sun shading of the inner space. Rounded glazed corners are link to the original building architecture.
The heat source is provided by the existing gas boiler room serving the whole complex of buildings. A cooling unit with air-cooled condensers is used as a cooling source. Heating and cooling of the building is provided by floor heating in combination with ceiling fan coils. The control of the indoor environment, including the regulation of heating, cooling, ventilation (including natural), shading, lighting, including the possibility of dimming, is provided by the electronic BMS system.
Built-up area 4974 m2
Building volume 69063 m3
