The structural alteration, restoration and extension work at the Feld + Berg upper school complex is a significant project for the region's educational infrastructure. The measures are aimed at fitting the school complex to modern educational requirements and offering students a contemporary environment. Not only will existing buildings be renovated, but new premises will also be added to meet the increasing need for educational places. Particular attention is being paid to creating multifunctional ranges that can be used for both lessons and extracurricular activities. The conversion work also considers aspects of sustainability and energy efficiency to ensure the long-term and resource-saving use of the school complex.
