The Czechoslovak warehouse is an industrial building protected as a cultural monument that was built in 1921 in the past industrial zone Veliki Liman in Novi Sad. Today, the building is surrounded by three student dormitories, which separate it from the original industrial environment. “Extro-introvert” is an abbreviation of the term extroverted introvert (ambivert), which is used in psychology for a personality type that does not belong to either extreme of the spectrum. The order of the words in the word structure indicates the process by which the project aims to extrovert, i.e. reintegrate the seemingly introverted and alienated Czech warehouse, by implementing new programs and articulating the space, into the surroundings. In the first part, the development and changes of the wider context are described, while in the second part, the narrower location is presented more concretely, a thorough analysis of the architecture and condition is carried out, and a value of the Czech warehouse is pointed out. Project aims to preserve most of the architectural qualities of the building and intervenes within it only on smaller areas. The conclusions, defined as answers to the problems posed in the first two parts, outline the starting points and directions for the development of the refurbishment project of Czechoslovak warehouse into a social and educational center. Project is devellopped on both architectural and urban scale. The vision of the project aims to create a space intended mainly for students, through which the movement and retention of the public is desirable. The planned programs of the project are a canteen (restaurant, bar), classrooms, a reading room, an exhibition space and a set of multifunctional outdoor public spaces. In addition to being a response to specific conditions, the project does not pretend to solve all the problems raised, but shows the hope that eventually it will create a model that can generate positive development, both in a narrower and wider context.
