This paper describes the conceptual design for the revitalization of the former swimming pool complex at Školjić. The initial reference points of the revitalization of the former swimming pool complex are presented through a historical cross-section of the construction and operation of the swimming pool; from historical circumstances and the golden age of the pool to the reasons for the decline of the Školjić pool. The current state of the area is in a very poor and neglected condition with the tendency of further deterioration of the entire complex as well as the wider area on which the facility is located. The city of Rijeka does not abound in a variety of public spaces, and the existing ones are neglected and devastated. One of the motives for the revitalization of neglected spaces of historical and sentimental value is the need for public spaces of non- commercial purpose, as well as the preservation of spaces that were once very valuable, but are now in neglect. The proposed solution for the revitalization and repurposing of the Školjić pool is designed in such a way that the designed space is architecturally interesting for visitors from all over the city, but also programmatically attractive to the local community, which would be activated and intergrated with the wider area of the city. In this way, the small local library would become a third living space, which would preserve the spirit of the place ("Genius Loci"). The technical description gave a detailed overview of the conceptual project of the revitalization of the space in such a way that it showed the location of the building and the future concept, purpose and the space arrangement. The design and layout of the rooms followed the rules of the functional scheme of a typical city library. Special importance was given to surface treatment that would emphasize the specifics of the space, also a management model for such a city library was proposed. The revitalization of a neglected area and the creation of new public spaces can have a profound and multiple positive impact on the community, the economy, the creation of a common identity and the preservation of cultural heritage. This type of project can become a catalyst for positive changes that will permanently shape the urban environment and stimulate social regeneration, as well as stimulate a revitalizing process: an organized space encourages more activities and visits, which further strengthens the sense of community and belonging, and thus the need for maintaining and developing the urban space.
