The school is developed as a terraced building structure, which steps up from the south to a 4-story section in the north. Green spaces and play areas are located on the roofs.

In line with the pedagogical concept of the client and the educational university, a “networking space” is developed at the heart of the school. This multifunctional interaction corridor connects all co-working spaces with the creative areas for specialized education (Maker Space, Future Space, Deep Space, etc.), the music area, and the two rooftop playing fields. At the same time, its generous spatial width provides zones for all open co-working spaces. This creates a culture of cooperation that transcends school levels and institutions, embedding the themes of “networking, creativity, cooperation, play, and energy” as identity-defining guidelines.

The terraced spatial configuration generates visual, communicative, and interactive connections between all levels and functional areas, ensuring synergy formation and collaboration within classes and across the school. From this so-called “heart,” the entire educational building is developed, representing a materialization and spatial expression of the pedagogical-didactic concept.

All existing car parking spaces will be replaced by a new park area. This aims to enhance the space in front of the new educational building while simultaneously creating a natural networking and meeting space between HTBLA, the Digital AHS, and other educational institutions in the community. This measure also improves the microclimate.

The parking spaces will be relocated to a new parking garage and a small underground garage situated southwest of the new school. The new parking garage, with its terraced green roof, corresponds contextually to the new educational building and accommodates 340 m² of solar panel surfaces. The parking garage is designed as a multifunctional building. In the future, as car-sharing culture grows and parking demand decreases, the parking garage can be reused as an event space, further supporting and fostering connections between different educational institutions.
