Kaiserslautern High School

---

SchenkelShultz, partnered with local German architect Dorsch Gruppe, is providing 15% design for a new Kaiserslautern High School, which replaces the existing high school that is more than 55 years old. The school is organized around the 21^st century concept of neighborhood learning hubs. These collaborative learning hubs are designed for multiple group learning opportunities and create an interactive, high-tech academic and social space. In the center of the learning hub is a “living wall” demonstration space that allows natural light into the hub, serves as an area for bio-technology learning and contains rain water leaders as a sustainable educational tool.

Linking together the learning hubs is the commons area, a dynamic space with a direct connection to the hubs, global information center, food service, gymnasium and outdoor learning spaces. The flexible space serves as a dining area during the day and can transform into a performance space for community events after-hours.
