Case Study: Reichenbach-Gymnasium achieves barrier-free, light-filled learning spaces with dormakaba access solutions

Reichenbach-Gymnasium - Customer Case Study

Reichenbach-Gymnasium in Ennepetal expanded by 2,000 m² to support enhanced all-day education and a range of new facilities, creating a brief to deliver a pleasant, light learning ambience and seamless connections between old and new structures. The school needed stepless, barrier-free interfaces and smooth pedestrian flows while maintaining the building’s attractive architectural appearance, and engaged dormakaba to address these access and design requirements.

dormakaba supplied premium access solutions — including automatic sliding wall systems, door closer systems, floor springs and lever handles from its Premium and Pure door furniture ranges — to create barrier-free, easy entry and exit across the extension. The result is fluid circulation and improved user convenience throughout the new classrooms, workshops, self‑learning centre and canteen; the 2,000 m² addition now offers accessible, attractive spaces that support extended all-day education.
