Pelgulinna State Gymnasium x Open House Tallinn 2024

Please register only for the tours you are certain you can attend. Let’s respect the schedules and fellow participants.

Tallinna Pelgulinna State Gymnasium (PERG) was completed in the fall of 2023 when three state gymnasiums were simultaneously opened in Tallinn – in Mustamäe, Pelgulinn, and Tõnismäe.

PERG is one of the largest wooden buildings in Estonia. A distinctive feature of the building is the spatial grid made of glued laminated timber, which gives the facade a three-dimensional appearance. The architects’ (Arhitekt Must OÜ) vision was to blur the boundary between the external and internal spaces. Based on this idea, three living trees grow inside the school building. To further integrate the indoor and outdoor spaces, PERG is surrounded by an activity-filled outdoor area (Kino Maastikuarhitektid OÜ). This park, sports, and exhibition area allows for outdoor lessons and is open to everyone. The interior architects (Pink OÜ) designed a freeform wooden staircase as the central element of the building, offering everyone a place to find their own space, way of being, and activities.

Meeting place:
in front of the main entrance of the school, next to the percentage art installation.
