Competition Win: Stockbrünnele School Campus, Böblingen
Location and Urban Context
The site to be developed is located on the western outskirts of Böblingen. It is surrounded by large green spaces, including mature and valuable trees to the south, and is directly connected to fields and meadows to the west.
The new school is aligned with the existing buildings on the school campus—the double sports hall and the youth center—thereby preserving the fresh-air corridor that is important to the city of Böblingen. Given the site’s special location, we decided to combine both schools in a compact building. Set back from the future youth center, the building will stand as an independent structure with a strong identity.
Ground Floor
Access Concept
The main access to the schools is from Kremser Straße via separate entrances on the southeast façade. Each school has a spacious stairwell connected to the courtyard and equipped with an elevator. Separate deliveries can be made via the lower-level workshop and art courtyard in the basement level. All entrances and pathways meet accessibility requirements.
Concept
Building Concept
The facilities of each school are housed separately in an L-shaped building. Their arrangement creates a shared courtyard. With the students’ cafeteria directly adjoining the courtyard on the ground floor, the two schools merge in this area, creating a distinctive place for interaction and communication among all students.
The corridors on the upper floors have been designed generously to provide additional open learning environments and to allow for different educational concepts in the future.
School Garden and Roof Garden
A school garden is located along the southwest façade of the new building, directly adjacent to the school kitchens. If required, this use can be extended to the roof garden on the fourth floor, where sheltered areas for communication, learning, and retreat are provided.
The extensive planting on the roof continues the surrounding green corridor and is also visible from the schoolyard. The gap between the school and the old cafeteria serves as an outdoor area for the workshops and is used as an art and workshop courtyard.
