Old and New in Dialogue – A Campus for Education, Culture, and Community.
As part of the competition to expand the school campus in St. Peter/Au, a new complex brings
together a music school, library, music association and brass band in one single location.
In MO’s competition entry the existing tower becomes the central focal point of the design—a
striking landmark and arrival point that connects the campus to the market square.
New facades and a covered loggia create fluid transitions between the building, the square,
and the landscape. Two distinct outdoor areas are created: a sheltered campus courtyard and
an open public square for markets, a library café, and events.
A “green gateway” connects the courtyard and the square, weaving existing structures and
new architecture into a cohesive campus.
