Plänkeschulhaus, School building on Plänkestrasse, Bienne, Switzerland.
The Plänkeschulhaus features three wings surrounding a courtyard with stone details decorating its exterior walls and sandstone architectural elements throughout the structure.
Built between 1898 and 1899, the Plänkeschulhaus originated as an educational institution during Switzerland's period of expanding public education systems.
The inscription 'ECOLE PLAENKE SCHULE' above the main entrance reflects the bilingual nature of Bienne, where French and German education coexist.
The school complex includes modern facilities with a new gymnasium completed in 2020, renovated kindergarten spaces, and expanded outdoor recreation areas.
The schoolyard renovation in 1997 incorporated an artistic representation of topographical contour lines embedded directly into the asphalt surface.
