ISS Integrated Secondary School

Regeneration through complete renovation

With project school “11K13”, a former school in the Berlin borough of Lichtenberg that had been closed for decades has been reopened. To do this, the two existing school buildings from the 1970s were completely gutted, renovated from the ground up and made barrier-free. The renovation not only upgraded the school building to modern energy efficiency standards, it also adapted it to the new usage requirements and improved it in terms of design and comfort.

School gets a makeover

Following the renovation, conversion and expansion, the new education centre offers a contemporary learning environment for a 6-form entry integrated secondary school with approx. 600 students. The architecture by NAK Architekten is characterised by clean lines. Generous window areas allow plenty of natural light into the building, thereby creating a friendly atmosphere. The appearance of the school building was upgraded using façade and window systems in an attractive shade of pink.

Schüco systems for a comfortable learning environment

For the complete renovation of the school, a Schüco aluminium façade system with slim face widths and a high thermal insulation level was chosen in order to balance aesthetic and energy efficiency requirements. The TipTronic SimplySmart window fittings for automated ventilation ensure greater comfort and cleaner air with maximum opening widths and reduced noise levels. With 30 minutes of fire resistance, the Schüco FireStop fire and smoke protection systems guarantee comprehensive safety in the school building.
