A green classroom is one example of the implementation of new pedagogical concepts. The realization of learning clusters, the creation of open learning landscapes and the design of an outdoor area are further components of a future-oriented new building. To extend the school, a three-storey building block will be constructed on the east side of the building. The two upper floors will have a widened corridor zone, which is reflected in the shape of the building and can be used by users as a learning and recreation zone. The connection to the existing building is made via a bridge.
