STUDENT DORMITORY
''FRA LUJO MARUN''

In 2009, the city of Knin prepared all the necessary documentation for the reconstruction of military warehouses and their conversion into a “fra Lujo Marun” Student Dorm, and in 2010, they obtained all the necessary permits and concluded a contract on the right to build with the owner of the buildings and land, that is, the Republic of Croatia. The complete reconstruction of the building and its furnishing to full functionality was completed in December 2016, when the Student Dormitory “fra Lujo Marun” was officially opened. For the most part, the old military warehouses were preserved with minor changes and demolitions inside the building, and attics were added to both buildings. The “Fr. Lujo Marun” student dormitory consists of two main buildings, buildings A and B, and the auxiliary building of the hot water boiler room. Each building consists of a ground floor, a first floor and an attic. The area of each building (all floors in the building) is 1,845 m2.

Between buildings A and B there are paths, green areas and an open stage, and behind building B there is a parking lot where the boiler room is located. In building A, there are the office premises of the Polytechnic, common rooms, a large multipurpose hall and in the attic 5 apartments, each of which consists of a living room, a bedroom and a bathroom, each with an area of approx. 40 m2. Also, in building A is the newly opened space of the Knin National Library.
