By June 6, the technical street in Prague 6 had become a pedestrian zone. It will host cultural and educational events for students at nearby universities and the public. This follows from the information on the Dejvická Campus project website. The project is backed by the Czech Technical University, the University of Chemical Technology, the Catholic Theological Faculty of Charles University, the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Academy of Sciences, the National Technical Library and the Prague 6 district.
The streets between the school buildings in Dejvice will change by the end of June “in the experimental socio-scientific space”, stands on the website of the Dejvice Campus project. Concerts and popularization events will take place in public. The street has a special outdoor café with tables and chairs for sitting and an amphitheater with 25 seats, where it will be possible to hold lectures, presentations or tutoring.
Technická street is closed for traffic in both directions in the section between Studentská and Šolínová streets from April to June, said Jiří Hannich, a spokesman for the office of the sixth district of Prague. Cyclists and catering are still allowed to enter the street. Others can bypass the closed street, for example, through Studentská, Šolínova, Zikova or Velflíkova streets. Marked paid parking zones also do not apply during the events on the university campus. According to the spokesman, the temporary traffic measure in Technická Street should not cause more serious problems for road users. The location functions as a campus and there are no other buildings in the street than those that fall under the universities and institutions involved in the Dejvice Campus project. The area is also well accessible by public transport, he added.
The public spaces on the Dejvice university campus were to know about permanent changes in the future. The architectural studio MCA, led by Pavla Melková and Miroslav Cikán, is currently working on the concept of alterations to the complex. The aim of the planned revitalization of the campus is to make it more accessible and comfortable for students and other residents of Prague.
