austrian firm daniel fügenschuh recently completed 'hauptschule rattenberg', a secondary school extension in the
historical center of rattenberg, austria. attached to a 15th century monastery, the building was originally converted into
a school and gym in the 1970s. the new structure accommodates the increasing social needs and pedagogic standards
to provide students with space to stay after school and get lunch. flexible plans create open zones to allow areas for
alternative teaching methods.

the new structure protects the architectural heritage of the area while redefining the importance of the school
within the urban context. the main part of the existing facilities within the monastery will remain untouched.
