Redesign of the Mühlenberg School Campus | Wipperfürth

Recognition | In collaboration with LH Architekten and STLH Architekten

The new school campus places great emphasis on the design and quality of open spaces. It is accessed from the north and south-west, with all required parking spaces having been reorganised. The two schoolyards are adapted to the respective topography and laid out on different levels – with covered areas created by building recesses. Green islands, tree plantings and light-coloured, glare-free surfaces improve the microclimate and create a high quality of stay. The shared sports fields and ‘green classrooms’ are located in the southern green belt, which has been designed to be close to nature and made visible by seating edges in the topography. Rainwater retention has been integrated into the terrain. The roof areas are intensively or extensively greened, partly used as retention roofs, partly as roof terraces for the schools. The overall result is a well-designed, ecologically valuable open space with a high degree of versatility and quality of stay.
