Authors of the project: Andrzej and Maria Czyżewscy, cooperation Bożena Włodarczyk, 1959. The object was realized in the years 1958–1962 as a monument to the 1000th anniversary of the Polish state.

The Czyżewskis accepted the work on the project when the foundations of the main school building (according to an earlier design by Tadeusz Augustynek) had already been made, so they had to take into account the already established plan of the building.

The architects proposed a new type of building structure - prefabricated reinforced concrete structural frames, with a refined outer surface that does not require plastering. The frames were made by the factory in Skoczów. Inside, the corridor walls were made of various building materials, e.g. clinker with a different wall pattern (a helpful element in teaching - the school educated in construction professions).

The simplicity of the façade was broken by the innovative, sculptural form of the shell of the roof above the main entrance to the building. The raw reinforced concrete shell contrasted with the glazing of the entrance hall behind it, leading to the auditorium and the staircase. The contrasting combination of raw concrete and glazed surfaces is a characteristic aesthetic in the modern architecture of that time.

"Budowlanka" is a large complex of buildings, including, apart from the main building with a gym and a swimming pool, also school workshops and a boarding school. In later years, in the depths of the courtyard, the building of the company school of Wojewódzki Przedsiębiorstwo Budownictwa Miejskiego was built.

The project was awarded by the Committee for Town Planning and Architecture in 1962.
