The new secondary school in Heidemannstrasse offers space for around 900 children to learn, discover and play. The pedagogical concept of the Munich Learning Houses is being implemented, which enables contemporary learning. The new building houses a 5-form entry secondary school with a triple sports hall. The building is divided into three structures, with the main building connecting the school and the sports hall under a roof. A clear solitaire forms the urban edge at the Carl-Orff-Bogen. The polygonal shape creates an inviting gesture at the entrance. The central hall functions as a connecting and communication area and houses the assembly hall, canteen, library, administration, music and art rooms. Blue and green tones in the façade characterise the school’s identity.
Our services included the factory planning, production, delivery and installation of 3,760 m² of timber-glass façade and 600 insert elements. A total of 1,300 m² of sun and glare protection was realised.
The contract also included 2,470 m² of fibre cement panel curtain walling and 720 m² of sheet metal panel curtain walling, 150 m² of timber frame construction walls, 160 m² of steel frame construction walls and external doors.
In addition, the schoolbag shelves were constructed using carpentry work.
The sometimes difficult-to-access installation situations, such as in the three-storey inner courtyard or under cantilevered concrete roofing, posed a particular challenge for the installation. All the timber construction work was carried out in parallel with the structural work, which required a high degree of coordination and special protection of the services provided. We guarantee high-quality timber construction work in a challenging environment for successful project realisation.
