The new building fits into the urban context as an element of equal value in this series of standalone bodies, which together form a kind of \”pearl necklace\”.

It adapts and develops further the existing floor plan structure, thus creating a homogeneous and in itself logical complex.

Thus averted from the road, noise pollution is reduced, and the classrooms can be illuminated from the south-west, all of which favours learning. Within the clear facade, the large, open access and gathering zones ensure the close linking of the urban environment and the school.  Image Courtesy © Fischer Architekten AG
