Replacement building Hainberg-Gymnasium | Göttingen

1st prize | In cooperation with Pape+Pape Architects

The new replacement building for the Hainberg-Gymnasium and the demolition of the old school wings will enable the site to be redesigned and optimised. The campus offers a park-like environment with mature trees, which will be preserved and promote outdoor learning. The open spaces are clearly zoned, with the new building creating a central forecourt as an open centre. Here there are learning gardens and green classrooms with access to the learning areas, which support learning in nature. They are accessible via external stairs, while a sunken garden and terraced areas around the canteen provide additional space for social interaction. The outdoor space is complemented by a multi-purpose all-weather pitch and sports facilities. All areas are planted with insect-friendly plants and promote biodiversity – including the biodiversity roofs, which store rainwater and offer ecological benefits.
