The new building boasts its own confident form language. Its characteristic element, which is legible from outside, is the exposed-concrete grid that serves as the building’s basic structure. Elements combining wood and glass are set within this structure in a tiered pattern.
Colourful recesses and the staggered pattern playfully offset the austere impact of the main grid. The hard primary structure forms a powerful contrast to the smooth facade.

The old building undergoes only minor changes; its basic structure is preserved.

The main staircase is reworked and incorporated into the new building.

As a central space, the break hall can be opened up depending on the weather. The art room can be connected to this as well, providing ample space for special events.
