The project, situated on a 4,145 m² plot, has a total enclosed construction area of 3,736 m². Designed for a capacity of 320 students, the building includes 16 classrooms, a digital library, a conference hall, a cafeteria, a gymnasium, workshops, and administrative units. The existing mandarin trees on the site have been preserved, and the building mass has been positioned to harmonize with the natural environment. The elevation difference has been utilized as a spatial transition element between the cafeteria and the playground, while the use of open and semi-open areas enriches the social interaction spaces.

The building, which has been awarded the LEED Gold Certification, stands out as an educational facility distinguished by its solar energy panels, water efficiency systems, and sustainability-focused design approach. The project has been designed not only for its environmental performance but also as a model school that fosters environmental awareness and sustainable living consciousness among students through its educational spatial organization.

In the interior spaces, the use of color, texture, and materials has been designed to foster the creativity of child users. The library, workshops, and exhibition areas have been conceived as fluid spaces that encourage interaction. The large skylight above the central staircase hall maximizes natural lighting, providing a sense of spatial openness and brightness within the interior.

Yenişehir Primary School has been designed with an architectural approach that interprets the relationship between light, material, and environment through a holistic design language, reflecting the concept of a contemporary educational space.
