Project description
The extension of the "Gymnasium" at Broich schoolcenter, designed by PLAN FORWARD GmbH, was handed over to the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr and put into operation for the 2014 school year. The dilapidated and impractical annex building was demolished for this purpose and replaced by the new building with a gross floor area of approximately 5,000 m². PLAN FORWARD's sister company, W+P - Gesellschaft für Projektrealisierung mbH, was responsible for the general planning of the project.
The L-shaped structure of the extension fits into the urban development to the east of the existing building. The west wing is connected to the existing building with two floors. In the east wing, an additional upper and lower floor were built to accommodate the height offset to the gymnasium.
The building structure creates a clear division of the schoolyards, so that they can be used individually by different secondary schools, for example. To the east of schoolyard 2, an extension of the parking area is possible. The schoolyard is then accessed via the external staircase to the north. The arrangement of the new structure also provides the option of an extension of the Gymnasium to the north.
