Goerdeler-Gymnasium in Paderborn

Dialogue between functionality and design

The expansion of all-day care is increasingly demanding that schools provide the necessary infrastructure for a hot lunch. For this reason, the school authority of the Goerdeler-Gymnasium in Paderborn decided on a new building that could serve both as a school canteen and as an event hall. Accordingly, a visually transformable interior and excellent room acoustics were important to the client. The multifunctional cross laminated timber box elements from Lignotrend, Weilheim-Bannholz, are particularly suitable for these requirements.

Wood type

Various wood species are available for the visible layer. For quality reasons, individual wood species cannot be configured for all profiles; for technical reasons, surface treatments are excluded for some wood species.

Profile

The visible layer is profiled with joints. The code for profiling indicates in millimetres: Element width, strip width (rounded, from/to if applicable) and joint width (rounded) as well as a letter identification for variants, e.g. with chamfered strip edges or with additional height gradation.

Note: Some profiles indirectly cause exclusions for other configuration options.
