Mont-Cenis Academy
The Mont Cenis colliery was a hard coal mine in Herne-Sodingen. A modern energy park and the new building for the advanced training academy of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia were built on one of its two operating facilities.
The academy is the new district center of Herne Sodingen, a place of encounter and inspiration.
Emerging from the legacy of the Mont-Cenis colliery, the academy has its own history, which reflects the structural change in the mining area.
The glass shell of the academy gives the building an unmistakable appearance. It has a solar power plant and is part of the Mont-Cenis energy park. It protects the buildings in it and creates its own microclimate.

On the former Mont Cenis colliery site there is now an energy park and the Mont-Cenis Academy as a training academy of the Ministry of the Interior of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. It's not just those who want to get an education from the Ministry who go here, there are also open offers. A special feature is the entire building under glass with solar fields, which attracts architecture enthusiasts to visit. 56 spruce trunks support the glass shell (180m x 75m). Underneath is a mild climate, timber clad buildings stand surrounded by grasses, gravel paths and fountains for example.
