Yanping Elementary School is located at Changji Street, Datong District, Taipei City. Established in 1939, the facilities and buildings on campus were getting old and desperately needed replacement. The school entrusted the New Construction Office of the Public Works Department of the Taipei City Government to conduct this renovation project of four levels above ground and two levels below.

The renovation includes regular classrooms, subject-specific classrooms, themed classrooms, a library, a multi-functional audio/video room, a kindergarten, and a resources classroom. There will also be an underground parking managed in collaboration with the Taipei City Parking and Development Office as a gesture to give back to the community.

After the New Construction Office announced the open tender of the renovation project of Yanping Elementary School, Yang Tan Chu Architect & Engineer was entrusted to plan, design, and supervise the refurbishment. The architect takes the design concept of “Urban Window” and plans to use simple geometrical shapes for its elevation design and enhance the window vista by utilizing glass, deep windows, canopies and railings, plus frames of varied heights, elevated shadow and rhythm, and semi-outdoor corridors to connect the teaching, leisure and ecological spaces. The renovation will not only make the school more spatially flexible for events hosting but also create a green vista through the urban windows.

Sansin Builders has recently won the bid of Yanping Elementary School renovation project. We hope that the end result will be more than campus refurbishment for Yanping Elementary School but also an urban window to be shared with residents in Datong District.
