Renovation Planned for S.D. Erzya Children's Art School in Novorossiysk
The S.D. Erzya Children's Art School in Novorossiysk is undergoing a significant transformation, as the city prepares for a comprehensive renovation of the beloved educational institution. The project, announced by Deputy Head of the City, Natalya Mayorova, is expected to breathe new life into the school, creating a brighter, more inspiring, and modern learning environment for its students.
Location and Timeline
The project is situated at Lenin Prospect, 40A, in Novorossiysk. The initial planning and securing necessary approvals took place in late 2023, with funding confirmed in early 2024. Construction and renovation work began in the spring of 2024, and the project is expected to be completed by late 2024 or early 2025, subject to weather conditions and contractor schedules.
Funding Sources
The renovation is primarily funded by a combination of municipal budget allocations from the Novorossiysk city administration and regional cultural development grants from Krasnodar Krai. Additional financial support is provided through federal programs aimed at preserving cultural and educational institutions. Occasionally, private donations and sponsorships from local businesses involved in community development may supplement these funds.

Aim of the Project
The project's ultimate goal is to preserve the cultural significance of the S.D. Erzya Children's Art School while creating a safe, modern environment that supports high-quality art education for the children of Novorossiysk.
The renovation plans for the entrance group and internal premises were discussed in a field meeting between the city administration's culture department and designers. However, no new funding sources or specific renovation plans for these areas were mentioned in the latest report.
