Julius Beier

Building new schools, rethinking the existing building stock

From new school construction and heritage restoration to the conversion of an office building into a school centre: Julius Beier brings wide-ranging experience in educational construction. The architect and project manager at AFF Architekten will be taking part in SCHULBAU Berlin as a speaker.

His previous projects include a primary school with daycare on a former barracks site in Potsdam-Krampnitz, a comprehensive school with canteen and sports halls in Berlin-Adlershof, as well as the new-build of the Heinrich-Hertz-Gymnasium at Berlin Ostbahnhof. Since 2025, he has been leading the planning for the conversion of an office building into a vocational school centre in Nuremberg—a pilot project by the Montag Stiftung as part of “Schulbau Open Source”. His work thus combines different tasks and scales: creating new educational spaces, further developing existing buildings, and unlocking potential within the existing building stock.
