Gammel Gymnasium 2 . Hellerup

BIG

During the construction of the new multi-purpose hall at Gammel Hellerup Gymnasium, the school planned a new building, adjacent to the multi-purpose hall, for art and cultural activities.

The new building consists of two levels of education facilities and classrooms for arts, music, drama, student counseling, locker rooms and weight training. To increase visibility and awareness of these creative subjects, the design places the classrooms next to the facade ensuring abundant natural light and views. The secondary functions are all located to the rear and partially below ground level The selection of materials seeks to create a new visual unity for the school, taking its cues from the sports hall entrance by incorporating glass facades a single sided sloped green roof and concrete paving.
