The objective was to restore the Bundesrealgymnasium (a type of secondary school), which was constructed in 1972, and to further build a new access part. The three classroom parts are connected with each other on two levels through a newly constructed two-storey building structure. In this connecting structure there are situated the elevator for a wheelchair access of the school as well as a central stairwell.

The open and transparent new building completes the already existing compact classroom parts. For the school complex this creates a clearly arranged structure of an extraverted middlepart, which faces south towards the schoolyard with its green areas, and the introverted classroom parts.

The building shell is adapted to the current standards of building physics. There is put special focus on the creation of an energetically well-balanced building structure.
