New building
Competition
Project competition in an open procedure for the new construction of the Staffeln school complex / 8th prize.
Planning 2015-2016

Space for the 500 young children who attend school here is allocated across two compact and clearly structured buildings: the four-storey school building itself and the three-court sports hall. The plan for the peripheral areas retains the large open area to the southeast. A dip in the terrain now serves as a playground with a varied design inspired by nature. A quadrangle is formed at the street corner at the northwest point of the site, where the main entrances to both of the buildings are located. The primary school consists of three different sections. The classrooms and shared educational areas alternate along the outer walls, while rooms for staff use and specific subjects look onto the atria.
