Education Centre NeckarPark Bad Cannstatt
Innovative new construction in the heart of the new NeckarPark city district
© Roland Halbe In the heart of Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt stands a building that redefines the future of education and sport: the NeckarPark Education Centre. It is an innovative new construction project that combines various uses such as an all-day primary school, special education centre, daycare centre, adult education centre and a two-court sports hall in a harmonious overall concept. With a gross floor area of around 17,000 m², the building offers a forward-looking solution for education and sport. The open spaces are intelligently integrated with the ground floor and upper floor areas, promoting an open, networked learning environment.
The wood-hybrid construction and a 40% green façade with a high proportion of wood characterise the architecture and stand for ecology and sustainability. The project arose from a "plan and build" process, which Wolff & Müller won together with Glück + Partner in 2021.
After an intensive four-year planning and construction phase, the building was handed over to the Stuttgart School Administration Office on schedule in July 2025 and put into operation in September 2025.

©Drees & Sommer „Sustainability was our guiding principle at the NeckarPark educational centre. With its hybrid timber construction and compliance with the requirements of 'Sustainable Building Baden-Württemberg', we have created a forward-looking building. The fact that the project was awarded the IWS Award 2025 demonstrates its high added value for the city of Stuttgart.“
