The primary school in Ulaanbaatar is an example of a modern and sustainable educational institution. It offers a friendly and inspiring learning environment for 600 pupils in grades 1 to 6 and was planned as an ecologically sustainable school building. It also has a gymnasium and a dormitory.

The special climatic conditions of Mongolia were taken into account. The concept is based on German standards. This ensures spatial and functional efficiency combined with high room quality. The internal networking of the rooms also promotes social interaction and individual well-being.

As the project progresses, it becomes apparent that all modern classrooms and after-school care rooms are orientated towards two inner courtyards. These offer space to play and serve as break areas. Large windows provide a view of the outdoors at all times. In addition, the red and white colour scheme provides intuitive orientation for the pupils. The western side of the site includes important outdoor facilities - including a sports field, running track, long jump facility and the directly accessible schoolyard at the main entrance.

At the same time, all 24 classrooms are south-facing. This optimises the use of daylight and supports natural, passive ventilation. The rooms are complemented by specialised classrooms, after-school care rooms, open learning and play areas as well as teachers' and preparation rooms. This creates an inviting overall impression.

Finally, the inner courtyards of the primary school offer safe and easily manageable outdoor spaces. During the summer months, classes can also be taught here. A small school garden on the roof of the low-rise building is a useful addition to the concept. The dormitory with twin rooms for 54 pupils and teachers is located on the upper floors. It is accessed via a separate entrance independent of the school. Overall, the primary school fulfils the highest requirements in terms of functionality, sustainability and educational quality.
