The Olympic Village in Innsbruck is a large, two-part development dating from the 1960s. An important element of the new district centre, completed in 2006, is the nursery-school and day-care facility for schoolchildren. The ensemble, consisting of a high-rise housing block, an elongated L-shaped low-rise tract, and a large public open space, is the outcome of the prize-winning scheme submitted by the Viennese architects Willi Frötscher and Christian Lichtenwagner in the Europan 4 competition. The architects have succeeded in creating an urbane and popular centre – the district’s vital heart, which had been lacking for many years.
