The Mechanical School Complex was chosen for the intervention in Bydgoszcz. The City is the owner of the school territory and will be the owner of the future building to be constructed, whereas the Headmaster of the Mechanical School Complex functions as the manager of the school. The choice of the future passive building location was based upon the sustainability analysis that proved that the highest visibility will be secured on condition that the building is highly exploited on every day basis with the highest number of visitors and in the EE oriented target group, namely the analysis selection outcome was the Mechanical School Complex territory. The school have already started enrolment procedures for a new RES specialization school course.
