The new education campus in Oberwart is a lively place for the whole town. In the morning, children learn math in the primary school, in the afternoon, piano lessons take place in the music school, and in the evening, members of the town band meet to make music together. The three-story aula forms the central building block of the campus. With its generous seating steps, it is well suited for events.

The open ground floor level is where pupils meet in the morning, gather during lunch break, and make music in the afternoon. The shared core continues on the upper floors with a distinctive learning and library house. Four classes form a cluster, a small, self-contained unit modeled after village schools in the surrounding area. There are five such villages in the school, offering a bright, transparent, and familiar environment for 100 children. The campus is completed by a large, double gymnasium, designed for larger events, and a judo exercise room with a bouldering wall.
