The site is located in the southern centre of Wallenhorst, between a residential area (2storey high buildings) and a school (Alexanderschule).

Until now, the site is used for agricultural purposes. To the south it is next to a youth centre, the building of which is one storey tall with an open space in the east. In the west, it meets the outdoor sports area of the school, from which it will be separated with a hedge.

The proposal considered a large opened courtyard and an exterior playground to the South and West, with classrooms facing South, and communal spaces  and services to the North.
