From the former structurally outdated and dismantled school buildings, the ZLL ZentrumLebenslangesLernen Hofgeismar was to emerge. The design proposed the construction of a bright, well-lit breaks hall as a common entrance building, along with the construction of a central canteen. The existing buildings—in particular the auditorium—were rehabilitated in a monument-compatible manner. Some uses, such as metalworking, arts and sciences, were housed in additional new buildings, which can be reached either by direct connection or under cover. The surrounding sports and outdoor facilities were comprehensively redesigned and now meet the standards for the coming years.
