Main Focus
The building is designed as a pure timber structure. The elements are structured in a simple and clear hierarchy. In the five, quasi identical compartment-fingers there are primary girders positioned tangentially to the centre of the school which carry the load in pillars.
The floor system in the compartment is planned as single-span system with one span direction. On the girders there is a cross-laminated timber layer fastened with shear connectors which forms a shear connection. The ceiling over the second floor is a beam and slab floor which is planned as wood-concrete-composite structure. Cross to the load-bearing direction a cross-laminated timber plate and the concrete plate carry the ceiling construction.
