The new Willi Resetarits education campus extends the generously designed "Floridsdorf education mile", which runs from the railway station along Franklinstraße. The new school combines 7 kindergarten groups, 33 primary and secondary school classes, a music school and a youth centre in a single building. The building volume follows the closed design of the surrounding area. Along the Bildungsmeile, the ground floor recedes and thus extends the wide street space to the forecourt. Along Franklinstrasse and Hinaysgasse, the building is designed with four storeys, while towards Kahlgasse the building steps down to two storeys. This building structure creates a large, coherent open space. 

The entire open space is designed as a versatile adventure and experience space that is available to pupils and kindergarten children. Depending on individual needs, it offers places to linger, play, learn or relax. The terraces on the upper floors (OG1 to OG3) are assigned to the respective educational areas and extend their utilisation options into the open air. All roofs are greened and the terraces are planted with specific green accents. In addition, the street-facing façades are intensively greened to create a sustainable and pleasant environment.

The school is designed as a cluster school, with educational spaces grouped around open multifunctional zones. In the floor plan, educational spaces and complementary open-plan areas form an alternating, chessboard-like basic pattern. This room layout enables productive and flexible interconnectivity of rooms, creating attractive room situations and sequences. The regular opening of the structure brings a lot of outside access and natural light into the clusters.

“This is where architecture comes to life: the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces creates a dynamic atmosphere that constantly changes depending on how it is used, thus becoming an important part of social interactions.”

This principle is visible and tangible in the façade. The robust basic grid allows the rooms to be staggered across the storeys, giving the educational building a striking architectural identity. The school is designed as a hybrid construction made of wood and concrete, with load-bearing walls made of solid wood. Intelligent building technology - including a photovoltaic system, groundwater utilisation and rainwater management - contributes to a sustainable and future-oriented educational building.
