The Holiday Center of the Silesian University of Technology, located at 18 Wiejska Street, Poland, is listed in both the provincial and municipal registers of historic monuments. The building must be maintained in good technical condition, allowing for interior modifications. The facade should remain untouched. The project includes an extension attached to the rear facade of the existing building and a naturally ventilated underground parking garage. The new section of the building will house a public library and guest rooms. The reading room is a place for relaxation, equipped with a rich collection of books and multifunctional rooms designated for author meetings, training sessions, workshops, and lectures.
The planned center can be an attractive tourist spot for literature enthusiasts and a suitable venue for thematic conferences. The guest rooms, equipped to a high standard, can accommodate one to four people. The plot features abundant tall and low greenery. The designed recreational center, which includes a library, restaurant, and guest rooms, has a usable area of 3,040 square meters. The restaurant, located on the -1 floor, can accommodate up to 105 people. It does not have waiter service; guests return their dishes themselves. The guest rooms are located in both the historic and newly designed sections, equipped with a TV, bed, and lounge area. Many of them have a balcony or terrace. The library, separating the two accommodation areas, is well-stocked with a variety of books and multifunctional rooms, allowing for multiple events to occur simultaneously.
The front facade of the existing Silesian University of Technology Holiday Center remains untouched, while the interior and ceilings have been completely altered. The terrain slope on the western elevation side was moved 7 meters into the plot, allowing for the placement of the main entrance. The entrance is on the -1 floor and accessible from Wiejska Street. The restaurant is located on the same floor, and the reception area, along with the division into two guest areas and the library, is located one floor higher. The building also has two additional entrances for staff from Kuracyjna Street. The first is on the side of the historic front facade, and the second is on the eastern elevation side. The designed center also features a ventilated underground parking garage with access from Wiejska Street.
