A new full-day elementary school is being built in Vienna-Favoriten. A new school location is being developed at Neilreichgasse 126 in the urban development area of Wienerfeld West. The Vienna City Council has approved the corresponding implementation proposal.

The City of Vienna is planning a 17-class elementary school with all-day care. According to current project information, the location is expected to accommodate around 500 students. Completion is scheduled for September 2029.

The project is driven by the increasing demand for educational infrastructure in Favoriten. More apartments are being built in the urban development area of Wienerfeld West, which is why the city has also secured areas for social uses such as education.

The new school is intended to accommodate several integration classes and combine teaching, learning time, and leisure in a holistic full-day offering.

A modern cluster concept is planned. Several educational spaces will be combined into manageable units, allowing for closer collaboration between classes.

Additionally, a library, workshops, and a spacious gymnasium are planned. The gymnasium is also intended to be used by external clubs outside of school hours.

The outdoor area also plays a central role in the planning. Around 70 percent of the open space is to remain unsealed.

Planned are green areas, retreat zones, as well as play and movement areas. Part of the open spaces is also intended to be available to the public after school hours.

This will make the school not only an educational location but also an additional meeting point for the neighborhood.

The new building will also focus on summer heat protection. Planned features include facade and roof greening, external sun protection, and cantilevered terraces to reduce heat entry into the building.

For energy supply, a photovoltaic system and geothermal energy are planned. Additionally, a component activation system will ensure that the building can be efficiently heated in winter and cooled in summer.

The new school is intended to be used outside of school hours as well. The planned gymnasium will be designed so that it can be available to neighborhood clubs outside of school hours.

Multiple uses are also planned for the outdoor areas. This will help integrate the new educational facility more closely into the surrounding area.

The new building is part of the school space development of the city of Vienna. The opening for Neilreichgasse 126 is scheduled for September 2029.

This aims to create additional school space in the growing district of Wienerfeld West in a timely manner.
