State building prize Mecklenberg-Vorpommern 2004 (commendation)

Modernisation of a school, built in 1978 in concrete panel construction (52 UR), with a new assembly hall, formed by roofing over the former courtyard, and the addition of a library.

Excerpts from the prize jury´s assessment
The modernized “schulplatte”, built in the 70s, now appears brave and self confident and stands out like a lighthouse in its tomato red painted shell. The modernization and renovation of the Astrid-Lindgren-School has changed a former standard school building into a friendly and charming school that functions well and enjoys a high level of acceptance by its users.
