History: The oldest part of the building was completed in the early 1900s, and was opened for school use in 1908. The building was first used as a school building in the early 1900s, when it was first used as a school building. The architect Wivi Lönn drew up extension plans in 1910, and the building was extended to 2 storeys in 1917, with a total floor area of 1 226 m². The renovation of the building started at the end of 1998 and the Ministry of Education granted a total grant of FIM 1.1 million for the renovation of the building. The designer of the renovation, building architect Eija Hesso, wanted to emphasise the old school’s appearance, and the floors, among other things, are a strong example of this design style. The council hall, the lobby and many classrooms overlook the Kokemäenjoki River. The Old Common School is an important landmark in Kokemäki, and the renovation of the building has contributed to improving the appearance of Kokemäki town centre. The council hall of the Old Common School is equipped with laser-based video and fixed sound systems. An induction loop system will be installed in autumn 2022.
