Teaching and learning with the best room acoustics.
At first glance, the building is characterised by the large vertical louvres on the façade. Depending on the position of the sun, the louvres are motor-driven and thus present an exciting and changing perceptual image.
Around 1,100 pupils attend the secondary school. With a usable area of 12,000 m², the building offers both the space and the appropriate infrastructure to create an optimal learning environment.
The concept for the new Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium in Garching near Munich was developed by Schwinde Architekten Partnerschaft in collaboration with the architectural firm Wenzel + Wenzel. The renowned architects optimally integrated the topic of room acoustics into the planning.
The absorber elements in American oak are a perfect match for the sound-reflecting exposed concrete and complement the room concept. Clear lines and structural design dominate the interior of the building. Where the grey exposed concrete could appear too cool, the sound-absorbing acoustic elements complement the interior design and harmonise the overall picture.
Our acoustic panels with the popular finest micro-perforation were effectively installed in the long corridors, the stairwell and the auditorium in this project and ensure optimum room acoustics.
