Secondary School Zaunergasse - COMPETITION ENTRY (recognition award)

Strong Position in the City
The forecourt provides the school with sufficient space for the daily coming and going of 700 pupils and teachers as well as an attractive presence in the urban space. In everyday life, the square also functions as a multifunctional area in connection with the ground floor.

Compact School
The clusters and special classrooms are grouped around a centrally located, open staircase. The distances are kept short. A bright corridor flooded with light connects the new building with the existing gymnasium wing.

Integration with the Open Space
All learning zones have a direct connection to the outside space. The surrounding balconies offer space for learning and playing during breaks. As the balconies can be accessed from the classrooms they function as extended break areas. There are beautiful views of the school grounds.
