Description

The school cafeteria with all-day care and children’s get-together facilities is conceived for children from 3 to 11 years old. The elegant building structure with its flat roof is located on the campus of the Otto-Hahn School. Its wood frame construction with wooden roofing surface elements is erected on a reinforced concrete floor slab.

All floors in the common rooms are covered with linoleum, while the ancillary rooms are coated with an epoxy resin.
