Text description provided by the architects. In the 1970s, the city of Linz built the experientially orientated primary school 49 in the district of Urfahr. Later to be named Robinson School, it is a model aiming to offer city kids as much nature experience and space for movement as possible. In 2008 the city's construction management corporation (Immobilien Linz GmbH & Co KEG) commissioned Schneider & Lengauer architects with the renovation and reconstruction of the school building as well as with the new construction of a day care centre. The basis for the detailed design work was a study by the Department of Building Management of the City of Linz. The following report proved, on the one hand, an enormously increased demand for afternoon care of primary school children, and determined the number of crèche groups. On the other hand, it defined the construction area and consequently the shape of the new building.
