At the beginning of the 19th century Pula was a small fishing village with less than 1000 inhabitants. Over the years, the city changed its status, so it developed from a small town into the main war port of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. With the expansion of the city, the number of inhabitants also increases, so construction progresses over time. New city districts are being developed, facilities for accommodating the army and military personnel are being built, as well as various public facilities such as the Naval Casino, the Naval Hospital or the Yacht Club. There are also two large parks in the new city districts. In order for the Navy to be as successful as possible with a sufficient number of skilled workers, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy around 1870 built the School of Mechanical Engineering at the foot of Mount Monte Zaro. The building changes its appearance and function throughout the year. From a mechanical school, a barracks, a cadet school, a barracks, it turns into a refugee camp and loses all its beauty. At the end of 1998, the City of Pula took care of the facility and housed various associations. Today, the building of the Karlo Rojc Social Center is one of the facilities visited by young people in the city. The conversion project seeks to revitalize the building and change its name to restore its former appearance and point out how much its function has gradually meant over the years. The project envisages the conversion of the entire building with an inner courtyard and an outer common space. Student apartments, as a future new purpose, located in that position, would give students the freedom and opportunity to socialize and gather in one place. By arranging and renovating the Karlo Rojc barracks, as well as part of the environment, the whole area gained in values that showed their original beauty.
