Together with the Seefeld school complex, the Mühlebach school complex forms the Riesbach school unit. In order to cover part of the increased demand for classrooms expected in the Zürichberg school district in the long term, the Mühlebach school complex needs to be repaired and expanded. The range of school rooms is to be expanded to include two kindergarten and six primary school classes in day school by 2025. The completion of the repair and expansion work is planned for 2025.
The Mühlebach schoolhouse and the sports hall were built by Adolf and Fritz Brunner in 1876 and 1880, respectively. In 1950 Otto Dürr connected the school building and the sports hall with an intermediate building. The school complex is listed in the municipal inventory of monument and garden monument preservation. Comprehensive repairs were last carried out in 1981. The school house and the sports hall are in need of repair today.
The winning project “Lichtung” is convincing on several levels. The urban unbundling of the two buildings brings a high added value for the ensemble, which is worthy of protection, as well as for the surrounding area and strengthens the permeability of the area. With the partial dismantling of the intermediate building, the winning project creates an open atmosphere and re-establishes important pathways and visual connections between the outside spaces. A small roof for breaks will be added over the connection between the school building and the sports hall. All uses such as primary school, kindergarten, childcare and sports are now clearly separated and accessible.
