Conestoga College operates a number of child care centres throughout Waterloo Region that offer quality early learning and care for children and function as lab schools for post-secondary college programs.

The program of each child care centre is taught to the Early Childhood education students. It has been developed using a thoughtfully constructed curriculum design that draws upon evidence-based research in the fields of early learning and care. Each program is based on the beliefs that children are capable individuals who develop and learn best in warm nurturing environments that respect their individuality and challenge their curiosity. Through experiences that emerge from children’s play, qualified educators create learning opportunities that stimulate and support children’s learning and development.

In partnership with Conestoga’s diploma program, the centres work in concert with faculty to support student learning through intentional and meaningful observations.

All of our child care centre lab schools are staffed by Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECE) who are graduates of recognized college and/or university level programs and who are members of the professional College of Early Childhood Educators. These educators have been chosen for their credentials, their expert skills and knowledge in curriculum design and implementation and their caring, warmth and understanding with children.

90,000 Panel House: How Khrushchev, History of Pentata Building, December 26, 2022 | 76.ru

How was the Leninsky district built up?

Share

Quiet area Pyaterka is an innovation of its time. This was the beginning of the large-scale development of Yaroslavl with Khrushchevs. Five-story buildings began to appear here since the 1950s of the last century. Thousands of people then were able to improve their living conditions and move into apartments – small, but their own.

How was the area built up? Where did it all start? How did the architects take into account the course of the party, the echo of the Second World War and the comfort of the inhabitants? We are starting a series of publications about how Yaroslavl (and the whole of Russia) was built up with panels. In the first issue – Leninsky district. nine0003

In March 1936, three districts were approved in Yaroslavl – Kirovsky, Krasnoperekopsky and Stalinsky. The latter, despite the harsh official name, the locals called the Five. In 1961 Stalinsky district was renamed Leninsky. It just so happened that during its existence the area bore the names of two leaders and one popular tram route.

At first, small houses for factory workers were built at Pyatyorka. They were mostly communal

Share

The development of the Stalinsky district began with the quarters between Chkalov and Avtozavodskaya. Housing was designed for employees of the automobile plant (now – Motor. – Note ed. .). Two- and three-story serial pre-war houses still stand along Rosa Luxembourg Street. Some, however, are in poor condition. At the same time, grandiose houses with stucco moldings and high ceilings were built in the center of Yaroslavl. Now they are called “Stalins”.

It can be said that the Leninsky district began with Rosa Luxembourg Street. Workers of the car factory lived here, which is now called Motor

Share

After the death of Joseph Stalin on March 5, 1953, the attitude of the Soviet leadership towards architecture and civil engineering changed. Nikita Khrushchev became the first secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU. In November 1955, the Central Committee of the CPSU issued a decree “On the elimination of excesses in design and construction.”

– Then, starting from the 1950s, this area began to be intensively built up south of Chkalov – towards Uglichskaya Street. Then there were already changes in the direction of construction associated with the Khrushchev reforms, – explained the former chief architect of Yaroslavl Arkady Bobovich. – The need for housing was huge, and the “Stalinka” were built according to individual projects. And it turned out that most people lived in barracks, basements. Therefore, at 19In 1955, Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev, having come to power, turned the whole urban policy in the other direction.

Arkady Bobovich worked for a long time as the chief architect of Yaroslavl

Share

Arkady Bobovich was the chief architect of Yaroslavl from 1986 to 2008. Honorary Architect of Russia, Advisor to the Russian Academy of Architecture and Building Sciences.

After Khrushchev’s decision, urban planning has changed a lot. Aesthetics and grandeur were replaced by speed and cheapness. nine0003

— And what is fast and cheap? This means that the house is industrial – it is assembled at the factories of large-panel housing construction. Everything is built according to a standard project: houses, schools, kindergartens, shops and even palaces of culture,” said Arkady Bobovich. — From the point of view of architecture, of course, it was a terrible time. Architecture, in fact, was driven into a corner.

The developments were the same throughout the country. On the ground, architects and engineers only adjusted buildings and materials to the characteristics of the soil and landscape. How to explain that the five-story buildings on Uglichskaya are mostly brick, and on Avtozavodskaya – panel? nine0003

One of the first Khrushchev houses in the area of ​​Yunosti Street – brick

Share

— A large panel plant had to be built first. Panels began to be released not at once. Therefore, at the beginning of the development of the Leninsky district, a brick, but typical series – 447th was used. Exactly the same practically, but the panel series, was called – 464th, – said Arkady Bobovich. – In Yaroslavl, the house-building plant was ready in the mid-1960s, it began to produce the 464th series. nine0003

The photo shows the outskirts of Pyaterka Street, which is skirted by Avtozavodskaya Street, on the right is Chkalov Street. In addition to residential development, the project initially included schools (top center) and stadiums, kindergartens (slightly to the left of the center of the photo), medical facilities and green areas

Share

Why are most Khrushchevs five-story? The answer is extremely simple: according to the norms, without an elevator, it was possible to build a maximum of a five-story building. There were projects of Khrushchev and from three and four floors. However, the authorities settled on the most advantageous option. nine0003

House No. 107 on Avtozavodskaya Street, like its closest neighbors, panel

— Sanitary standards have changed especially for Khrushchev: the height of the premises, the area of ​​​​rooms and kitchens have decreased, bathrooms have become combined. In general, everything to build more economically and faster,” Bobovich explained. – Architects, of course, were forced to design such neighborhoods. We tried to at least make the building more convenient. Immediately provided for schools, kindergartens, shops and lots and lots of greenery. Well, at least they left places free from buildings. nine0003

A series of Khrushchev houses No. 447 and 464 Leninsky district, and the whole of Yaroslavl, were built up until the mid-1970s. Then the series began to change.

— Such an interesting moment. At first, houses in the first series were designed as a whole, later they switched to construction sections. For example, a house has four entrances, but each entrance can be slightly different in layout. Suppose one entrance is one-room-two-room-two-room-one-room, and the other entrance can be one-room-two-room-three-room. There was such a variation,” said Bobovich. nine0003

There are a lot of green areas and free plots with trees on Pyatyorka – the architects did this specifically for the comfort of people. According to the norms in the apartment, at least one room should receive sunlight.

The number of social facilities and shops was calculated approximately according to the number of residents of the quarter. In an ordinary five-story building there are 100 apartments, which means about 300-400 inhabitants. There should have been about three hundred school places per 1000 inhabitants, several hundred places in kindergartens. nine0003

The photo shows the intersection of Chkalov and Zhukov streets. New yellow houses were built on the site of the Volga cinema. The quarter behind them was not built up for a long time because of the proximity to the plant. 2-3 schools, 6-8 kindergartens were built per year. Well, and other consumer services, many shops. For example, along Chkalov Street. Public centers were designed – the Volga cinema on Zhukov Street (now demolished. – Note ed. ) was planned but was built much later.

In addition to the obvious social objects, architects up to the 1980s immediately planned shelters – the echoes of the Great Patriotic War and the height of the Cold War made themselves felt. At the same time, shelters in the basements of the Khrushchevs were not designed. The houses were not designed for this.

– In the 1960s and 70s, threats were considered, but mostly separate bomb shelters were built. There were norms, calculations, but basically they were built where people work. That is, in factories, at telephone exchanges, at a tram depot, for example. Near jobs were mostly built, built a lot. Well, then, probably, we believed that there was no need to build anything like that,” Arkady Bobovich explained. nine0003

Driveways are designed in such a way that even if both houses are destroyed, there will be a passage between them. By the way, in the photo there is a variant of four-story Khrushchevs, which were later abandoned in favor of more profitable five-story buildings

Share

Alas, household gas explosions in houses regularly occur in Russia. One of the last such incidents happened in a house in the Leninsky district of Yaroslavl. Fortunately, the explosion did not lead to large-scale destruction. However, often Khrushchev buildings simply collapse after the explosion, the blocks stack up like cards. Did architects think about such emergencies in the last century? nine0239

— There used to be safety regulations. Suppose, even if two adjacent Khrushchevs were formed during the explosion, there must be a certain distance between them so that it would be possible to pass, drive through the vehicle. The so-called yellow lines, – shared Arkady Bobovich. – All these calculations were made. Of course, it was not supposed that the houses would begin to explode one after another. I think this will never happen.

Spot development is currently underway on Pyaterka. New buildings often appear in the area of ​​​​Rosa Luxemburg Street, between old three-story buildings. There is a lot of empty space in these neighborhoods. And for good reason. nine0003

We are talking about the quarters limited by Chkalov, Dobrynin and Radishchev. On the old plan, they are almost colorless

Share

— The engine plant had its own foundry (dangerous, toxic production. — Note ed. .). And so the sanitary protection zone extended to Chkalov Street. Therefore, this part of the district was not touched for a very long time, they were not built up, – Arkady Bobovich explained.

Over time, the car factory was losing power, the foundry was closed. Early 19In the 70s, the Motor Plant already expanded production – the number of employees increased to 40 thousand. And for the families of these 40 thousand factory workers it was necessary to build housing. Since the 1980s, this part of the Leninsky district has been allowed to be built up. They continue to do so to this day.

The high-rise new buildings that you can see in the photo were built in the former sanitary protection zone of the plant

Share

It can be said that most of the houses on Pyaterka have expired. And not at all figuratively. For panel Khrushchev, the estimated service life was 25 years, and for brick – 50 years. nine0003

– Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev did not come up with all this himself. He went to France. There, after the war, the devastation was also terrible. And there they just started using prefabricated panel houses. He saw it and liked it. The French, however, quickly moved on to another construction, – said Arkady Bobovich. “Not as much was built there as we have. The fact is that they were still built there for private owners, housing was private, most often it was rented. The owners built, for example, and rented out apartments. And in our country everything is state-owned, everything in our country, in general, did not belong to either people or any management companies. The plans were that it would quickly change. But when this flywheel was spun up, these houses, factories were set up … It was difficult to refuse this. nine0003

The photo shows a tram ring on the outskirts of Pyatyorka. Three nine-story buildings appeared here later than the rest of the houses

Share

Over time, nine-story Khrushchev buildings began to appear in the Leninsky district. The layout in them did not change, the series remained the same – 1464th, but an elevator was added.

— When the nine-storey houses were started to be built, the area, in fact, was already built up. This does not mean that the number of storeys was simply replaced. The architects reworked the project, looked at which of the five-story buildings not to build in order to build a nine-story building. There are norms for building density, for population density. If the number of storeys was raised, then the number of houses decreased. nine0239

Leninsky district of Yaroslavl is quiet and sleepy. It is impossible to imagine it without hundreds of Khrushchevs. Sometimes, however, gray panels are depressing. Is it possible to do something with them? Is it realistic to renovate Soviet buildings without point-by-point sticking of new buildings and large-scale renovation?

Modernization options for Khrushchev houses

Share

— Renovation in Moscow is not really renovation. This is the demolition and construction of a multi-storey new housing on this site. Moreover, five five-story buildings will practically be demolished and five 20-story buildings will be built in the same place. This is terrible. May be renovated to improve living conditions. This is what they did with the Khrushchevs in Germany,” said Arkady Bobovich. nine0003

In all countries of the socialist camp, housing construction developed approximately the same way. When East Germany merged with West Germany, it turned out that in East Germany the house-combining plants immediately stopped working. Workers quit because it was more profitable to work in another part of Germany. The construction of the panels has stopped.

After the reunification of Germany, the Germans thought: what to do with panels? We decided to gradually restore, in parallel improving the living conditions.

An example of the reconstruction of a panel Khrushchev from Chelyabinsk. Various projects for the restructuring of five-story buildings were implemented throughout the country, but were not massive

Share

— Now, if, for example, a typical section consists of one-room, two-room, two-room, one-room apartments, then they made two three-room apartments. Communications changed, houses were insulated. Of course, we can’t go down this path – there are a lot more panels in the country, ”explained Arkady Bobovich. Our people have been thinking about what to do with five-story buildings for a long time. It was calculated that it is best to build them up by about two floors.

Pyaterka is being built up. New houses appear in the quarters on Uglichskaya, Rosa Luxembourg, and Avtozavodskaya. Usually these are massive high-rise buildings, squeezed between small five-story buildings. The appearance of such houses affects the social infrastructure: clinics, schools, kindergartens, traffic congestion.

Massive new buildings are clearly visible from the air

Share

— It seems to me that in general, non-professionals are now engaged in construction, although they are called engineers, architects. Firstly, they are, unfortunately, poorly versed in construction. Secondly, in comfortable construction. Thirdly, they are under the pressure of the customer. Now how is it happening? The customer hired an architect, said: “Here I want a 20-storey building.” The architect, an honest architect, says: “Well, it doesn’t work out, because there is no place for a school, for a kindergarten, for playgrounds.” And the customer turns around and goes to another specialist. And the other does. He also has to work and earn. That is why it seems impossible to scold architects either. They are forced to do such things,” Arkady Bobovich outlined his position. nine0003

According to the former chief architect, the problem of building complexity has not yet been resolved. It is not clear who should build schools and kindergartens, because private companies build what is sold.

School No. 76 on Avtozavodskaya Street was founded in 1962

Share

— That which cannot be sold, there is no one to build and there is no reason to. And it turns out that even the future school and gardens seem to be drawn on the drawing. But the future is very far away, because there is no money for their construction. They say that it is necessary to force developers, they say, “Here he built one house, before you build the next house, build a kindergarten.” Excuse me, but at the expense of what will he build? He also builds at the expense of the money of those who buy housing from him.
