The comprehensive school for thousand pupils consists of nine grades from ages 7 to 15. Adult education and sports and culture events can be organized simultaneously with pre-primary and comprehensive education during and after school hours.
The building is composed of nine volumes each with varying size and function. Large volumes lend the building a distinct public character. Small volumes create a playful backdrop for the playground.
The building is made of brick and concrete. Technical installations are mostly exposed.
