Building the future for learning

The Creativity & Innovation Centre: What is the Creativity & Innovation Centre (CIC)?

One of the most modern and innovative school buildings in Europe is planned. On three floors and more than 8,300 square meters, open, flexibile and interdisciplinary learning islands will form a unique multifunctional space. The students, teachers and guests can experience Maker Spaces, Technology Centers, Science Labs, Creative Studios and last but not least the new auditorium with a "STEAM" (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) focus.The Creativity & Innovation Centre (CIC) is the most important building block in the continued development of BIS. As an additional benefit, it replaces temporary containers, solves space problems and enables renovation work on older campus buildings.The investment in the future of BIS requires support from the BIS community and companies in the greater Munich area. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2023 with the CIC opening three years later, in 2026. The total cost of the project is 25 million euros and our goal is to raise 1.5-2 million euros by the end of 2022, in order to begin the project on a solid financial basis.
