OKALUX Brings Natural Light to Hellingskampschule Extension

As Bielefeld continues to grow, so does the demand for educational space. The city has responded with an impressive extension to the Hellingskampschule: three interconnected school buildings and a sports hall designed by Pussert Kosch Architekten.

Daylight is central to the design, supporting a respectful and collaborative learning environment. OKALUX glass solutions bring natural light deep into the interior, while minimizing glare and controlling heat.

In the sports hall, OKALUX K ensures soft, shadow-free daylight, enhanced thermal insulation and high energy efficiency. Overhead, the courtyard skylights are fitted with OKASOLAR S – a daylighting system with integrated directional sun protection that reduces artificial lighting and cooling needs in summer, while capturing solar gains in winter.
