Architects and construction industry experts visited one of the capital's renovated schools. They assessed how the educational space had been transformed and noted the program's features "My school". This was reported by the press service of the capital Department of Education and Science.

The tour was attended by the head of conceptual design of the Asadov architectural bureau Valentin Shkuro, the head of the UB Design architectural studio Boris Uborevich-Borovsky, the head of the Studio 911 model workshop Viktor Krylov, the head of the AFA landscape and construction bureau Sergey Tatarinov and the chief architect of the organization Ksenia Golovanova. The specialists saw how the large-scale reconstruction transformed School No. 460 named after twice Heroes of the Soviet Union A.A. Golovachev and S.F. Shutov.

The school building has been completely renovated — from the facade to the classrooms. Instead of the usual corridors, spacious recreation areas with soft sofas, bright poufs and comfortable windowsill seats have appeared. These spaces are not only for relaxation — here you can prepare for lessons, hold extracurricular activities or parent-teacher meetings.

The school canteen has been transformed into a dining hall resembling a trendy café, and the traditional library has been replaced by a modern media library with comfortable spaces for reading, group work and individual work.

Particular attention was paid to classrooms. New equipment was installed in them for studying natural sciences, robotics, programming and other scientific disciplines.

A modern gym with a safe surface and new exercise machines is provided for physical education classes. Sports grounds for basketball, volleyball and mini-football, as well as for passing the standards of the "Ready for Labor and Defense" complex, have appeared on the school grounds. In addition, there are play areas and rest areas with comfortable benches.

"This is a typical project that architects made in the 1960s and 1970s. I liked that the building was easily transformed into a modern space. They removed unnecessary ceilings, made more glass doors. They change the space: it becomes light, open, democratic. If earlier there was no such thing as design, architects thought mainly about engineering, then here the designer's potential was revealed. They selected colors, materials, furniture, lighting and ceiling solutions. The work done commands respect. The interiors are completely ready, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. This design is exactly what the school needs," said the head of the architectural studio Boris Uborevich-Borovsky.

Previously Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development, reported that the renovated schools have begun open days. They will last until August 30. From Monday to Friday, they will be organized from 14:00 to 20:00, and on Saturday – from 10:00 to 16:00. Guests will also enjoy training with physical education teachers and lectures from specialists of the City Psychological and Pedagogical Center. To participate, you need pre-registration.

As part of the Moscow Mayor's My School program, educational spaces are becoming more modern and functional. The first four buildings opened after reconstruction on September 1, 2024. This year, 51 students will be welcomed on Knowledge Day renovated school.

Providing schools with modern high-tech equipment helps to optimize the educational process and meets the objectives of the project “All the best for children” of the national project "Youth and Children".

Repairs to Luzhnetskaya Embankment Begin

Specialists from the city services complex have begun repairs on Luzhnetskaya Embankment. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

"This year, several embankments are planned to be renovated, and we will fill in the joints of the granite facing on each of them. We have started work on Luzhnetskaya Embankment, where we will put the granite facing itself in order and fill in the joints on an area of over 25 thousand square meters," noted Petr Biryukov.

Repair of facing seams begins with sandblasting the stone, then specialists proceed directly to the jointing. The seams between the slabs are cleaned of old filler, washed, then filled with polymer-cement material and rubbed with a waterproof solution. These activities are carried out on each embankment once every five years. They are necessary to ensure safe operation, because over time the material of the seams deteriorates, which can lead to displacement and even loss of granite slabs.

Where necessary, displaced granite and cornice blocks, as well as parapet fencing, will be installed in the design position. In addition, the pedestals will be partially replaced and the cast iron fencing will be painted.

For Muscovites and tourists, the work on Luzhnetskaya Embankment will go almost unnoticed, as scaffolding is being installed on the water side, moving it from site to site.

Now it has access to a larger number of topics of varying complexity.

"To make passenger communication with the chatbot as fast and accurate as possible, this year we began to implement artificial intelligence in its work. During this time, with the help of neural networks, the virtual assistant has already answered more than 230 thousand user questions. Artificial intelligence now helps Alexandra answer questions about the MCD and commuter trains on all 10 platforms where the chatbot is available.

The metro has a themed train dedicated to the My Documents government service centers

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

A new themed train has started running on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line, which will run in the metro for the next six months. Its appearance was timed to coincide with the 14th anniversary of the My Documents government service centers. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

The themed train will run for six months. In the carriages, passengers will be able to learn about the services that make the visit to the My Documents offices even more enjoyable, such as a children's corner or a book exchange area. They will also learn about the employees of government service centers, as well as the tasks of administrators in the capital's medical institutions. The first such train appeared in 2021 on the Sokolnicheskaya Line.

"Today, we are launching a themed train "My Documents" in the Moscow metro, which will tell passengers a lot of new and interesting things about the government services centers that have become familiar. Fourteen years ago, the first center opened in Moscow marked the beginning of a radical transformation of the government services sector. Today, about 140 "My Documents" offices provide hundreds of government services daily, saving Muscovites millions in unnecessary visits to various organizations. But more important than numbers is the attitude towards people. Our specialists not only do their job, but also want to help with all their hearts, support, and find a solution even in a difficult situation. After all, sincere service lies in love and care for people. Now, thanks to the collaboration between the metro and "My Documents", even more residents and guests of the capital will become familiar with the Moscow standard of government services and learn about the wonderful people who help Muscovites every day with unfailing friendliness and a sincere smile," added Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

When creating the design, specialists paid special attention to volumetric symbols that are associated with the activities of government service centers: images of a house, wedding rings and documents.

"Together with colleagues from the capital's social development complex, we are launching a themed train on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line in honor of the 14th anniversary of the My Documents government service centers. Sergei Sobyanin set the task of providing Muscovites with the best service in the world, so today many services can be obtained in a single window format. Service centers have also been open on the Big Circle Line for three years now: you can go here for advice on the operation of the metro, ground-based public transport, and Moscow Parking. At the same time,

more than 75 percent of services provide remotely. During this time, employees have helped passengers about 800 thousand times,” said Maxim Liksutov.

The theme of each carriage is dedicated to a separate component of the activities of the My Documents centers. For example, the first one introduces passengers to statistics on government services popular with residents, which they apply for in the offices. Thus, since the beginning of 2024, more than 1.2 million people have applied for a replacement or receipt of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

The second carriage tells about the employees of the My Documents offices and their achievements, and their photos are posted there. Passengers can learn about the help of the centers' employees in organizing the large-scale forum "Territory of the Future. Moscow 2030", training young specialists or citizens in digital literacy.

The design of the third carriage is dedicated to the opportunities and additional services available in the capital's government service centers. The fourth carriage provides materials on such a direction as "My Administrator": within its framework, office employees work in city healthcare institutions, solving non-medical issues of patients. The fifth carriage informs about the activities of the educational center "Academy of Sincere Service", where employees of the capital's "My Documents" offices undergo training.
