The Fritz Henßler Vocational College is, as a former school for arts and crafts, according to its own data, contact person in the framework of the dual vocational training for building technology, surveying technology, wood technology, printing and media technology, colour engineering and room design, Sign and light advertising manufacturers, brewers and Mälzer, burners, distillers and chemical laboratory assistant. In essence, the design concept of the integral planning team provides for the addition of two building wings, which, of course, complement the road-side historical monument and the Hofdenkmal to form a double loaded system with mid-sized access corridors.

Due to this area-efficient addition of the five-story building wings, the construction volume can be held to a minimum of new building area (BGF), which reinforces the existing condition while meeting budget requirements. In the sense of a flexible and future-oriented building usage, a generous forum area is provided on the ground floor, which meets the requirements of the school operations. The forum area includes an interdisciplinary space required for students, cafeteria, multi-purpose room, student representation and self-learning centre in a central location, as well as the main vertical circulation and sanitary facilities.

The educational concept-lifelong learning and superior competencies.
Young people must be prepared early to learn throughout their lives. The curriculum is structured into professional fields of activity, openly designed to allow for flexible adaptation to changes. The curriculum aims to ensure that students develop a high level of methodological and learning skills, wide-ranging communication skills and social skills, in addition to the well-founded technical expertise. They represent core qualifications that students will always fall back on in their social and professional life. Thus, the teaching concept of the FHBK Dortmund with regard to its technical aspects represents a very complex secured construct, with a great deal of experience.
