New construction of the Special Education Centre | Senden Neu-Ulm

1st prize | In collaboration with Atelier30

The outdoor facilities of the Special Education Centre in Senden form a diverse school landscape that blends gently into the topography and surroundings. The green forecourt with groups of trees and seating areas creates an inviting entrance. Break areas, green classrooms and a school garden open up a variety of outdoor learning spaces. Large-crowned trees, shrubbery and water-permeable surfaces combine quality of stay with ecological function: they promote biodiversity, store rainwater and improve the microclimate. To the south, a hedge of bird-friendly shrubs forms the transition to the agricultural landscape, complemented by species-rich meadows. Exercise facilities such as an all-weather playground, playing field and climbing wall expand the range of uses. A protected, natural play area is being created for the children’s house with modelled terrain, edible plants and light deciduous trees that ensure a pleasant climate.
