The aim of the project is to build a new pavilion of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood for the collection, processing and utilization of natural-technical knowledge in the teaching and practical use of digital data from geographic information systems. New classrooms and laboratories using not only technologies for earth remote sensing, but also other high-tech SW and HW equipment will be situated in new building located on a plot owned by the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. The activities of this FFWS investment project call numb. 16 are fully in line with the non-investment activities of the CZU project MOST. Three important target groups will be involved:
- university students,
- academic and other university staff,
- secondary schools students.
The project outputs are crucial for the introduction of two new study programs according to the requirements of the practice (System Arboristics, Timber Constructures and Structures Based on Wood) and three newly re-accredited programs (Wood Engineering, Conservation of Natural objects and Taxidermy). The new infrastructure will be used also for existing programs, such as Woodworking or Forest Engineering. The aim is to provide favorable conditions for the permanent provision of modern teaching with a direct link to the requirements of employers and the environment for study (modern premises, collections and teaching materials, modern AV technology of the 3D classroom). The new building will be barrier-free, a lift will be installed across the two floors. There will be a toilet for immobile citizens. Of course there is a reserved parking space. At the same time, high-tech software and hardware equipment will be available to students with disabilities, expanding the educational infrastructure for students with special needs (immobile, visually impaired or hearing impaired). The partial aim is to ensure the Faculty's ability to continue intensive co-operation with other universities in the field of educational activities at the national level.
