OUTSIDE SPACE/ CONNECTION WITH SURROUNDINGS In more recent school designs, courtyards were implemented, which in the most schools are used only for big school events. Schools’ windows are usually the same size and same height, which, for example, doesn’t allow pupils to look outside when they are seated in the classrooms. This reduces connection with
the outside and creates a feeling of a closed building. Following the organisation of the typical microrayons described before, school buildings in Vilnius’ were usually well located in the neighbourhood so all pupils could walk to school even without crossing big roads.
