The project involves the modernization and functional rethinking of the existing building in order to create a modern multifunctional cultural and public hub for the residents of the Chornomorska territorial community.

Problems solved by the project:

The village of Oleksandrivka of the Chornomorska territorial community lacks a modern, safe and functional infrastructure for the provision of cultural and public services.

Key problems:

1. Lack of a specialized hall for circus and dance activities

A circus studio operates in the community, but there is no room that meets the basic technical requirements (height, safe suspended structures, floor coverings).

Consequence: limitations on the development of the group, risks of injuries, inability to scale activities. 

2. Lack of a safe space for holding mass events

Today, the village lacks a hall located next to a shelter, which makes it impossible to hold events in compliance with security requirements under martial law.

Consequence: limitations on the cultural life of the community, inability to hold events for a wide audience.

3. Lack of public space and co-working

The village lacks open public spaces for: youth, public organizations, initiative groups. Consequence: low level of social activity, lack of environment for development of initiatives. 

4. Outdated material and technical base

The existing premises are not equipped with modern equipment (light, sound, furniture), which limits the quality of service provision.

Consequence: reduced attractiveness of events and low attendance. 

5. Limited opportunities for club activities

Due to limited space and non-functional planning, it is impossible to: increase the number of clubs, divide the space by type of activity.

Consequence: limited coverage of children and youth. 

6. Non-functioning of the main building of the cultural center

The main building of the Oleksandrivskyi Cultural Center: is in unsatisfactory technical condition, has no shelter, cannot be modernized within the available budget

Consequence: loss of a key cultural object of the community. 

7. Lack of space for youth and public initiatives

The community lacks infrastructure for the activities of: youth councils, public organizations, educational and social projects

Consequence: low level of involvement of the population in public life.

8. Lack of modern library space

The existing book collection does not have a suitable environment for: reading, working with information, conducting educational activities

Consequence: decreased interest in reading and informal education. 

The combination of these problems indicates the lack of a holistic cultural infrastructure in the community that meets modern requirements for safety, accessibility, and functionality. The implementation of the project will allow for a comprehensive solution to these problems by creating a multifunctional cultural hub that will combine cultural, educational and public functions in one safe space.

The project plans to:

• create a transformed auditorium (combining premises) for events, circus and dance studio classes;
• arrange a stage with basic lighting and sound equipment;
• create a library space with a mini-exhibition hall;
• arrange a coworking area and public space;
• arrange group rooms;
• create an inclusive environment (ramp, bathrooms); 
• update engineering networks (water, sewage, insulation). 

The building already has access to a shelter (on the school grounds), which allows it to be used as a safe public space in accordance with modern requirements.

The project will provide:

• expanding access to cultural services;
• creating conditions for the development of children, youth and adults;
• improving the quality of the cultural infrastructure of the community.

Quantitative indicators of project implementation:

As of 2025, the institution provided cultural services to approximately 1,600 community residents (≈32% of the population). After the project implementation, the following dynamics are predicted:

Population coverage by cultural services:

• 2026: 1700 people (+6%);
• 2027: 2000 people (+25% to the base level);
• 2028: 2100 people (+31%) 2029: 2200 people (+37%).

Number of events:

• 2025: 45-50 events (estimate);
• 2026: 50 events;
• 2027: 60 events (+20%);
• 2028: 65 events (+30%);
• 2029: 70 events (+40%).

Number of group participants:

• 2025: ~25-30 people;
• 2026: 30 people;
• 2027: 35 people;
• 2028: 38 people;
• 2029: 40 people (+30-40%).

Number of group participants:

• 2025: ~25-30 people;
• 2026: 30 people;
• 2027: 35 people;
• 2028: 38 people;
• 2029: 40 people (+30–40%).

Number of types of services (including new functions):

• 2025: 2–3 types of services;
• 2026: 5 types;
• 2029: 7+ types of services (added: rental, coworking, exhibitions, master classes).

Space utilization rate:

before reconstruction: 

• ≈10–20% occupancy 

after:

• 2026: 50%;
• 2029: 70-75%.

Qualitative indicators:

• creation of barrier-free access (100% accessibility of key areas);
• possibility of holding events for up to 80 people (previously limited);
• emergence of new areas of activity (theaters, open library, coworking);
• creation of a multifunctional space instead of a narrow-profile club.

Expected results:

Project will ensure:

• increase in the coverage of the population with cultural services by 30-40%;
• expand the range of services by more than 2 times;
• increase in the number of events by 40%;
• increase in the efficiency of space use;
• create a modern, safe and inclusive community center.
