Project description
The new "Bildungspark Essen" has established itself as a central institution for educational and vocational training in the middle of the Ruhr region.
After taking over the building ensemble in the northern inner city area, the two WOLFF GRUPPE-subsidiaries W+P and PLAN FORWARD developed a concept for the conversion and refurbishment of the "Berufsförderungszentrum (BFZ) Essen", for the integration of the "Berufskolleg Holsterhausen" and for the construction of a gym.
After intensive site analysis, the vacated areas (buildings H1, H2, H2b, H3) of the BFZ were used to integrate the "Holsterhausen Berufskolleg". In addition, a new gym was built on the site. Close attention was paid to complying with the applicable regulations for school buildings.
