About the team

Over the last two years, a small project team expanded with the addition of Ukrainian & Lithuanian professionals: architects, lawyers, engineers, project managers, interior designers, writers, and web designers – all with one shared vision to build a new modern school that will be the first of many in Ukraine.

The Bucha school project started when BT Invest, investors in Ukraine, and 2L Architects & Engineers, an education infrastructure architects, teamed up with a vision to build a school for the Bucha community.
