Reason:
The Joseph-Beuys-Gesamtschule in the Wersten district of Düsseldorf is getting several new buildings at the old location due to the increasing need for space. The existing 4-train system will also be expanded by 2 classes per year level.
As part of the overall construction project, the existing building will be renovated and expanded by 3 new school buildings along a connecting thoroughfare, including a double sports hall. A new canteen will be built in the rear part of the school grounds and all outdoor facilities will be redesigned.
