The school, as a member of the UNESCO project schools, is based primarily on the concept of "Global thinking, local execution". Based on this principle, innovative buildings with all-inclusive extensions were designed. The reworking and construction of the school complex then followed locally.
For the realisation of this project in the centre of the inner city, the existing sports hall and an adjoining building, as well as numerous teleheating and sewage pipes, had to be reinstalled. Thereby, space was created in order to be able to carry out a modern and sustainable new construction of the school as well as a three-pitch sports hall with the associated outdoor facilities next to the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the existing monument under limited space conditions. In the new construction of the henceforth four-section gymnasium, the construction of a new main entrance with a large foyer and all the special classrooms, as well as the new canteen and library, could be undertaken.
KREBS+KIEFER was responsible for all the building components of the structural engineering as well as the planning of the pit lining.
