The new intergeneration centre (IGZ) in Dülmen was built as an extension to the existing major hall. The multi-storey building with a z-shaped footprint and the old building form a courtyard with a glass and steel roofing. Connecting the old and the new wings, the two-storey northern building is a solid construction with a flat roof. The main building has three floors and a pitched roof. These two wings have an underground floor that is used mainly as carpark. The two-storey southern wing without an underground level is used as a nursery.

The new building was designed as a massive construction. In order to achieve cost effectiveness and guaranty the necessary usability of the structure a hybrid technique with both reinforced concrete and masonry.
