Czechoslovak Reform Grammar School (Státní československé reformní reálné gymnázium) (1936)

The L-shaped school building is designed with the main entrance as part of the stairway part in the north. The east facade with big windows houses class rooms. The top floor of this corner with slanted windows was used for the art classes rooms. Along the north facades stretches the longest part of the school with the hallways facing north and classrooms facing south. For the roof was designed an awning, a shady for open-air classes. 

Light is the symbol of this school. Where is light, pupils can learn better. All windows in the school are huge, the stairway is a glass construction and even the canopy above the entrance is equipped with glass blocks.

This school was built by Evžen Linhart between 1936 and 1938. It was an approach of the Czechoslovak state to built modern and attractive schools. During the occupation of Czechoslovakia in World War II the school was forced to move out and the German occupants used the rooms as Junkers works (Junkers-Werke) air-craft design office. After the war the school moved back and was named Gymnázium dr. Edvarda Beneše (or short: Benešovo gymnázium) after the new Czechoslovak president Edvard Beneš. 

Since 2012 the building is listed.
