Two entwined two- and three-storey structures mark the entrance space as public space in the southwest quarter of the Christoph-Ruden-Street and open out to a spacious and a -dependent schoolyard and the sports facilities to the northeast. The unique position of the building on the western edge of the property not only creates a recognizable address in the district, but leaves out a lot of space for further urban development on the eastern edge of the property to Buckower Damm.
Two inner courtyards define the centre of the new school building. The northern one is designed as a green outdoor patio while the other one, in the two-storey part of the building, as a generous entrance hall, which serves as a weather-protected light-flooded auditorium. This mediates over several steps between the upper level of the forecourt and the slightly lower situated schoolyard. In combination with the entrance area and the connectable multi-purpose room, a generous sequence of rooms for large Events is created. The inner courtyard and the school hall bring a lot of natural light into the compact building. An open school staircase at the intersection of the two building volumes leads to the upper floors.
