The left bank of the Ljubljanica River in the east of the city is occupied by a vast university hospital campus, which has been filled with additional clinic and hospital buildings by prominent creators since World War II. While the sparsely populated right bank, extending beyond Plečnik's weir, lay dormant for many years, it was in the mid-90s that it emerged as a suitable location for the construction of a new site for a secondary healthcare school, which was to be established in a park planted in the early 1980s in memory of Tito's death. The Yugoslavs are clear on Tito's legacy, and thanks to this, a pleasant public space could be created, planted with eighty-eight trees that subsequently became part of the school garden.
In situating the new school, Jurij Kobe drew inspiration from the urban plan of Maks Fabiani for the reconstruction of Ljubljana, which was devastated by an earthquake in 1895. The school lines Poljanská Road, which runs out from the center, while the linear mass of the school is hidden behind the aforementioned Tito's park and is not very visible from the busy street. The greenery also helps filter out noise from the street and purify the air in the classrooms. The school building is classically divided into a central entrance and side wings. Everything has been successfully integrated into a single linear composition. The exposed façade of the reinforced concrete skeleton is gradually filled with classrooms and other educational spaces. The central part of the school is designed as a multi-story entrance lobby with an open staircase and a view into the park. The entrance hall is then connected to other important components of the school: a library, a gymnasium, and an auditorium, which slightly extends from the school and adds character to the rear façade of the building. The vertical grid of the reinforced concrete skeleton is complemented by horizontal window bands. Additionally, another glass layer extends toward the street to mitigate noise intrusion into the building. The object is topped with triangular balconies featuring external escape staircases. At the back of the site, there is a sports facility with a grandstand extending from the school in the form of a dynamically narrowing western wing.
The construction of the healthcare school received the Plečnik Award in 1998 and was simultaneously nominated as a finalist for the Mies van der Rohe Award.
