Sustainable Campus Architecture and Adaptive Reuse Policy
(Developed and implemented on 3 September 2024)
KNUCA adopts this Sustainable Campus Architecture and Adaptive Reuse Policy to guide the design, construction, renovation, and operation of all university buildings according to sustainability, energy efficiency, resilience, and cultural continuity principles. This policy supports SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and complements SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by embedding architectural innovation and adaptive reuse within a broader framework of environmental responsibility, cultural preservation, and inclusive urban development.
1. Vision and Strategic Objectives
KNUCA envisions its campus as a living model of sustainable architecture — an ecosystem where new construction, heritage buildings, and natural landscapes coexist in ecological and cultural harmony. The main objectives are to:
- Integrate sustainability criteria into every architectural and construction project;
- Extend the lifespan of existing buildings through adaptive reuse and renovation;
- Reduce embodied and operational carbon emissions;
- Ensure accessibility, comfort, and safety for all users;
- Preserve the architectural heritage of KNUCA as part of Ukraine’s cultural identity.
2. Principles of Sustainable Architecture and Design
All campus buildings must comply with the following sustainable design principles:
- Energy and Resource Efficiency: Application of passive design strategies, high-performance insulation, daylight optimisation, and renewable energy integration (solar panels, heat pumps).
- Circular Construction: Prioritisation of local, recycled, and non-toxic materials; minimisation of demolition waste; reuse of existing structural components.
- Water-Sensitive Design: Incorporation of green roofs, bioswales, and rainwater collection systems to reduce runoff and improve microclimate.
- Indoor Environmental Quality: Implementation of natural ventilation, daylight access, and non-VOC materials for healthier learning and working spaces.
- Smart Building Management: Use of data-driven monitoring systems for energy, water, and occupancy optimisation.
3. Adaptive Reuse and Heritage Integration
KNUCA’s architectural heritage is treated not as a relic of the past but as a resource for innovation. The policy promotes adaptive reuse — repurposing existing buildings for new educational, cultural, or research functions while maintaining their historical integrity.
In 2024, KNUCA launched the Adaptive Campus Renewal Program (https://www.knuba.edu.ua/?p=39123), which renovated 1950s-era academic blocks using sustainable materials and installed smart HVAC systems powered by renewable electricity. Former technical workshops were converted into creative labs and co-working spaces for students, demonstrating efficient resource use and low environmental impact.
The Rector’s Annual Report 2024 (https://www.knuba.edu.ua/rektor-knuba-oleksij-dniprov-predstavyv-trudovomu-kolektyvu-zvit-za-2024-rik/) documents the integration of renewable heating systems, improved accessibility, and eco-certified materials in the adaptive renovation of the Main Academic Building — now a flagship example of sustainable heritage preservation in higher education.
