Mathilde-Anneke Comprehensive School
in Münster

The Mathilde-Anneke Comprehensive School is the first school to be built from wood in the climate capital of Münster. The new school is a model and showcase building that will shine beyond Münster’s borders. BNB certification (Assessment System for Sustainable Building) is planned. With a main building, learning houses, a sixth form building, a 4-court sports hall and a children’s day care centre, space has been created for 1,400 pupils and 150 teachers.

School as a living space
Life in the community

The Mathilde-Anneke Comprehensive School was designed as a meeting point and workspace with learning islands, a reading corner and an information point. School should be understood and experienced here as a living space and a place for life in the community. In addition to the optimal space for successful learning, areas for action, creativity and relaxation have also been created.

In order to fulfil this high standard, the choice of building material also played an important role. Consequently, the natural building material wood was chosen, which ensures an optimal indoor climate and has a measurable positive effect on well-being and health. The client, architect and planner also favoured wood as a building material for reasons of climate protection and sustainability in order to create a sustainable building as an ideal place of learning.

The school is completely barrier-free and has been equipped with sophisticated building technology that minimises energy consumption and additionally supports the good indoor climate.

The advantages of wood
in the Mathilde-Anneke comprehensive school

The ribbed ceilings of the building were glued and pressed at the factory using glulam ribs and X-LAM ceiling panels. With an area of 16,000 square metres, the timber construction makes an active contribution to climate protection – thanks to its cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency and excellent CO₂ footprint. The high degree of prefabrication of the components in factory halls also ensures independence from the weather. With this building, which takes the sustainability aspect into account in a special way, the city is sending a visible signal behind its ambitious climate protection goals: A climate-neutral Münster by 2030 – the city has committed itself to this goal. The school was built from wood to actively protect the climate.

Sustainable, durable
and energy neutral

The school was the first building to receive sustainability certification (BNB) in accordance with the specifications of the Federal Ministry of Construction with a ‘Silver’ rating. The school can now call itself a ‘green building’. The background to this is the special timber construction.

Customised glulam

Our glued laminated timber (glulam) can be used to build customised structures, as we can produce the components in almost any shape and size – entirely according to your wishes. The kiln-dried timber boards are joined together by finger-jointing to form long slats. Discover our wide range of glulam.

Solid and versatile element construction

Whether roof, ceiling or wall – X-LAM can be used in a variety of ways. Our X-LAM element construction gives you great freedom in building design. The flexible cross-laminated timber elements are customised for you and are quick and easy to assemble.
