Located in the beautiful Marselisborg district, within the center of Aarhus city, is Marselisborg High School, one of Denmark’s most renowned schools, rich in tradition and history – often featured in books and movies. Today, Marselisborg High School is very popular among the students within the city of Aarhus. With this first prize winning new addition, designed by GPP Architects, the school will continue to meet the high demands of modern and visionary high school education requirements. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The new addition consists of a new classroom wing, a new two story high canteen and a multi-use sports center. The new structure creates a comb-like structure – where the beautiful surroundings are highly visible from the inside. The new backbone of the school is an indoor street that runs through the entire school. It starts at the north end of the new classroom wing, running through the new canteen, the existing building and ending up on a large tribune connecting the school to the new sports facilities in the south.
