This week GCR reported on Europe’s first 3D printed school taking shape in Lviv, western Ukraine.

Organisers say it could provide a blueprint for getting more than 5 million children back to school after Russia’s invasion so far has damaged 2,600 schools and completely destroyed more than 400.

Ukrainian humanitarian group Team4UA leads the project with the support of Lviv City Council and a number of companies, including Danish print-builder 3DCP Group and Ukrainian cement-maker Cemark.

Team4UA has sent GCR a selection of photographs showing the project’s setting and progress.
