The International Institute for Vocational Training at the Neuer Messplatz in Mannheim was planned by the architects Carlfried Mutschler and partners Joachim Langner , Christine Mäurer and Ludwig Schwöbel and completed in 1984. The client was the non-profit housing and settlement construction GmbH, Karlsruhe

It was used to train car mechanics from the 3rd world . The classrooms and administration rooms were housed in a three-storey school building. The four two-storey workshop pavilions took up the pyramid roof motif from the immediately adjacent Wilhelm Busch School planned by the same architects. A glass-covered walkway connected the pavilions and the training building.

The two-storey workshops were made possible by a half-storey offset from the street. It gave the ensemble an extraordinary airiness.

When the state parliament did not continue to finance the training facility, there was no suitable subsequent use. Therefore the property was sold. Since the building was not yet a listed building, the new owner was allowed to demolish it in 2017, although there was no prospect of reuse for the property.
