The central square – serving as a shared living space for both the school and the Viererfeld neighbourhood – is surrounded by the new school complex and the sports hall, as well as the historic Enge school building. The new school, with its polygonal shape, also features its own quiet, tree-lined and sheltered inner courtyard, whilst the various classrooms for the different school years are distributed across the ground floor and upper floors, providing a well-lit and flexible learning environment. The new school, its sports facilities and outdoor spaces blend seamlessly into the surrounding urban landscape, establishing a new dialogue between the built environment and the surrounding landscape.
