The objective was the redevelopment and extension of an existing school ? a building made from prefabricated concrete slabs in the 1970s ? in the centre of Linz. The building's extension closed a gap of surrounding perimeter block development while at the same time creating an independent ensemble. Easy access to public transport and the location within a dynamically developing urban area justify the expansion of the school site.
