Two new designs were unveiled in Moscow. My School projectNow, Moscow schools undergoing renovation under the program will be able to independently choose the design of their facades and interiors. Several design options have been developed for them—with turquoise, orange-green, or yellow-green accents. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
"Several years ago, the capital launched a large-scale renovation program for school buildings, "My School." This program will allow us to modernize all schools, which are already outdated and outdated, in the coming years. We took a fresh approach to space management, ensuring that the new environment would foster productive learning, creative development, and meaningful recreation, while also being welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. When renovating the first 55 schools, we used a design with turquoise and light green accents. But as the project progressed, we realized there was a need for a greater variety of color schemes, so that each school could choose an option that best suits its spirit and established atmosphere. The program now offers two new color schemes—with orange-green or yellow-green accents," the Deputy Mayor explained.
The interior spaces will be decorated in calm, muted tones, with vibrant accents provided by acoustic panels, furniture, and design elements.
"Calm, muted colors in school interiors help students concentrate better in class. They don't distract or overload the eyes, creating a comfortable learning environment. This palette is especially important for younger students: it creates a feeling of comfort and safety. Bright color accents in the recreation areas, on the other hand, help students refocus. During breaks, such colors encourage communication, play, or relaxation, sparking interest in the surrounding space and a desire to explore the school environment," noted Oksana Korchagina, educational psychologist at the City Psychological and Pedagogical Center.
Dozens of renovated schools will open in the capital by September 1, 2026. To create the most comfortable environment for children, every detail has been carefully considered—from clear and intuitive navigation to comfortable furniture in the hallways.
Educational institutions will receive modern classrooms, laboratory and research facilities equipped with digital microscopes, 3D printers, and mini-greenhouses, as well as IT training areas with robotics kits. The new equipment will allow schools to offer additional clubs and sections.
The recreation areas will feature upholstered furniture, cushioned windowsills, and brightly colored lockers for personal belongings. Drinking fountains will be installed on each floor. Traditional libraries will be replaced by stylish media libraries, and the assembly halls will be replaced by bright, multifunctional atriums.
The gyms will be equipped like those in the best sports complexes. For example, they will feature special parquet floors with shock absorption. Lunch areas will be organized like modern cafes. In school grounds, the sports fields will be renovated, play areas for children of all ages will be created, comfortable benches will be installed, new lights will be installed, scooter and bicycle parking spaces will be provided, and additional trees will be planted.
