The Nordwestbahnhof education campus is the first milestone in the development of this large inner-city urban area. The former railway station site will be used in future as a working, living and recreational space. Our project creates a forward-looking educational centre and makes reference to the industrial past of the site in its materiality. As a result, the campus will become an anchor point for the new urban district, creating a sense of identity. From 2028, more than 1,000 children will attend kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and music school here.

The educational campus follows a tooth-like staggered arrangement of the buildings. A spacious forecourt is created in the north, while sheltered garden areas are laid out in the south. In terms of height, the building is staggered towards the green centre: In the east, a five-storey structure adjoins the existing urban structure, which gradually reduces to a single-storey volume towards the west. This terracing creates an attractive open space landscape that enables a flowing connection from the top floor via the terraces to the garden.

"The educational campus is a pioneering project for the circular economy in educational construction, based on an adaptable support grid for future changes."
