main building
The COG was initially housed in the premises of the elementary school on Raiffeisenstrasse until the current main building on Münchner Ring was completed in 1980. Its architecture, which divides the building into three wings with a light interior area, which also houses the auditorium, makes it a transparent structure that enables teachers and students to meet. The blue and white striped sun sails are characteristic of the facade of the main building.
