This project is a part of the UWC Dilijan College Campus, situated on 88 hectares of land, located within the National Park of Dilijan. UWC Dilijan College is the first project in Armenia to receive a BREEAM certification.

Tim Flynn Architects was commissioned to masterplan a campus for an international boarding school to house 650 pupils. Initially the site comprised ten hectares of land, but as the ambition and size of the school grew, the masterplan was developed further and the school site currently sits on 88 hectares.

Phase 1 of the masterplan includes the main academic building, sports centre, two boarding houses, a multi-function centre, technical buildings, medical centre, security gatehouse and maintenance facilities. Playing fields, tennis courts and soft landscaping throughout invigorate the area while an apple and pear orchard, once in decline, has been replanted and replaced.

In 2015, construction for Phase 2 of the masterplan has commenced. The development includes three further boarding houses, staff accommodation and the Performing Arts Centre (PAC), an international standard concert hall seating 650 audience members – due for completion in 2018. In addition to this, a flexible theatre space seating 250 people, a dance studio and music school including individual practice rooms and a main dining hall accommodating the entire school will also be built.

Within the campus, Tim Flynn Architects is also designing two areas for staff accommodation to the east and west of the campus. Each area will house approximately 25 individual families for staff, in the form of houses and apartments in units of various sizes.

Adjacent to the school complex and within the overall masterplan, a group of private residential log buildings are due for completion in 2015. A school lodge and spa facilities for visiting parents and dignitaries are also being developed.

Completion of the whole campus is anticipated by 2020.
