The new all-day school building on Antonie-Lehr-Straße is circular. Located at the intersection between the Donaufeld Süd-Ost urban district and the new DonauGRÜNde neighborhood park, the school serves as a connecting link: it is a building, but also part of the park. The neighborhood park continues around the school—the new school is located in the park.

New urban spaces

The location of the all-day school in the middle of the construction site creates new urban spaces for the neighborhood: in the southeast, the new school forecourt with a connection to the urban district; in the southwest, a town square oriented towards the DonauGRÜNde neighborhood park; and in the north, a publicly accessible play, sports, and nature area. An atrium in the center of the school is also part of the public space as a campus: this is where the city comes into the school.

The ground floor of the all-day school is open to the public, and a diagonal path connects the school forecourt in the southeast via the central atrium to the neighborhood park in the west. Numerous school facilities are located directly on the public space and activate it: the foyer opens onto the school forecourt, the multi-purpose music room can also use the central atrium, and the gym can be extended into the play, sports, and nature area via a grandstand.

Public and private open spaces

All open spaces on the ground floor are accessible to the public. The immediate surroundings of the school form an urban square where plant troughs that can be used as seating and reclining furniture invite visitors to linger. The school's play and sports area in the center of the property transitions into a natural landscape with gentle terrain formations and wild meadows, woods, and shrubs at the northern tip of the property.

The roof garden is reserved for school use. Here there are green areas for exercise and play, pergolas with PV roofing for learning purposes, and water basins with relaxation areas.

Open architecture

The new all-day school building presents itself as an open structure that can be flexibly used on five floors and adapted to changing needs. Numerous patios cut into the floors bring plenty of light into the depths of the building and, in addition to the central public atrium, create intimate outdoor spaces for the school. On the outside of the building, surrounding green learning terraces establish visual connections with the urban space. External staircases connect all outdoor areas and lead directly from the educational clusters to the school's roof garden.

The village as an educational cluster

The educational clusters are organized like a village: educational, team, and ancillary rooms are freely arranged in the floor plan, and the surrounding traffic routes merge with numerous multifunctional areas to form an open learning landscape. Large-format sliding doors allow educational rooms and multifunctional areas to be interconnected, while windows create visual connections between educational rooms, extension rooms, and multifunctional areas. Open-plan classrooms are directly connected to multifunctional areas and offer generous views of the city.
