Architectural Renderings House-Stunning Solar School From Germany Cold War Army Barracks

Germany has renovated their old cold war army barracks into an energy efficient modern learning environment. Now the building that placed in Wolfhagen become a solar powered school.

This visionary design takes advantage of the huge design of the former tank armory to build a campus underneath, while the roof was replaced with translucent thin-film solar panels.

It’s an excellent example of green architecture that exposes students to sustainability while providing a beautiful, light filled, and airy building to learn in.


The immense 5000 square meters of translucent roof are outfitted with 7160 thin film solar modules.

Thanks to their 1 micron thick profile they are semi translucent, which allows means lots of light into the building while reducing glare and heat. While the windows on the side walls open automatically to provide natural ventilation and fresh air. The 220 kW array is one of largest of its kind in Europe.

Inside the 4,400 square meter building, the original concrete floor and support beams are kept intact. Each of the Modular, highly insulated classrooms located throughout the building has its own climate control. The result is essentially a double skinned environment that has a greatly reduced energy load. The school is the seed for a much larger science and learning center that will make use of the existing buildings located on site.
