School architecture counselling

When pedagogy and architecture work together synergistically, great spaces for new and proven learning concepts unfold. We accompany you on your way to a school building project in a participatory process and are on hand to advise you.

For schools

In an advisory, moderating and guiding capacity, we develop space requirements and functional concepts for future teaching, learning and school living environments for you as teacher, parent and student representatives.

For municipalities

We analyse existing buildings and properties for their suitability and adaptability for future-oriented school construction projects. We design and develop space and functional programmes as well as feasibility studies with cost forecasts from participatory processes and provide all architectural planning services.

Responsibility, security and inspiration in phase zero

As school construction consultants, we accompany, moderate and document the development process of the school in an educational and structural sense. The interdisciplinary school construction consultancy team (education and architecture) has extensive experience in supporting school development processes and in school construction. The content is developed in a participatory process primarily with the integrated steering group, consisting of representatives from the administration, politics and the educational institutions concerned. In addition, selected topics are also discussed with representatives of the parents, pupils and, where appropriate, the local community. Additional experts from the network of school construction consultants can be invited to discuss special topics such as all-day schooling or inter-year learning groups.

What school construction consulting can do for you

Even before the architect draws the first line, a vision of the future of learning is created. Together we set the course for the later success and acceptance of your project.

Pedagogical and communal stocktaking with the school community and other stakeholder groups.

Architectural survey with site inspection, student representatives, teaching staff/school management and parents.

Intensive workshop on key topics and possible development scenarios for learning centres and communal areas as a vision.

Determine spatial requirements. Workshop on functional units and their spatial relationships to each other. The focus here is on users.

Comprehensive documentation, presentation and action-orientated results report for the steering group for final approval.
