The building ensemble of the BRG Vöcklabruck secondary school consists of the historic Wagrain Castle and an extension dating from the 1990s. Another secondary school and a higher technical college complete the school complex. The buildings are surrounded by a green space, which serves as a break area for the students and as the grounds for this building competition.

The new annex consciously refers to the shape of the 1990s extension. Clustering was deliberately avoided to ensure that all resulting classrooms would be equally suitable. While this approach was generally desired and welcomed in the questionnaire answered by the sponsor, unfortunately it was precisely this non-clustering that was ultimately the greatest point of criticism for the jury. The flexible timber-concrete hybrid construction is developed around the existing underground courtyard. Closed pods alternate on the upper floor with open, transparent surfaces. There is a flexible teaching area on the ground floor.
