0327School area Allmend Meilen

The redevelopment project for the Allmend school complex in Meilen includes the construction of a new primary school building, a triple sports hall with an additional community gym, and the conversion of the existing Building E. A new public pedestrian axis connects the site and creates a clear circulation structure. The new primary school consists of a base level and two upper floors, organized into clusters with flexible, light-filled learning spaces. Its façade is rhythmically structured with green recesses. The new sports facility, located west of the swimming hall, contains a multifunctional triple gym for school and large public events, as well as an independent community gym. Building E will be repurposed for administration, therapy rooms, and kindergarten; the kindergarten gains larger outdoor spaces and a new entrance. The overall architectural concept promotes transparency, accessibility, and flexible use—for both educational and public functions—creating a spatially, functionally, and environmentally integrated educational campus.
