Children’s Centre, Educational Campus Rainbrunnen | Schorndorf

Recognition | In collaboration with Atelier 30

The new children’s centre and the extension to the school building on the Schorndorf educational campus form a central area that harmonises with the outdoor facilities and creates generous open spaces. The entrance area, equipped with multi-trunked trees and a round bench, forms the prelude to the school and kindergarten grounds and serves as a passageway and recreation area. To the east, the open space in front of the dining hall expands and merges into the schoolyard with playing field. The building structure divides the outdoor areas into clearly defined zones. A western playground is bordered by a linear play sculpture with sand play, climbing and sliding facilities. The northern play yard is designed as an exercise yard with age-appropriate play equipment. In the north-eastern area is the school garden, which enables barrier-free gardening and outdoor lessons. The open space is designed as a heavily greened play and school landscape with large-crowned trees of the future and structured by sunken areas of grasses and shrubs. In addition to their insect-friendly abundance of flowers, these areas also serve as retention and seepage areas.
