Spiritual
and bright
Maria-Ward-School, Nuremberg
The newly built Maria Ward School in Nuremberg is a
school that knows no dark corners. It draws its character
from the bright, daylight-flooded atrium, places for retreat
and exchange, and the continuous wayfinding system. This
creates an inspiring environment that motivates students
to develop their full potential.
The lighting supports the perception of the building struc-
ture. The directional lines of light are recognisable from
the outside and lead into the building.To create a smooth
transition between classrooms, movement zones, and
learning areas, and to promote concentration and well-be-
ing, the linear luminaires’ illuminance in these adjacent
areas is always between 300 and 500 lux.
The energy footprint of the CO2-neutral school building
is optimised thanks to presence and daylight sensors.
The lighting concept achieves a harmonious combination
of comfort and functionality for improved well-being and
focus. A school without dark corners, but with plenty of
space for development.
