In keeping with the Bauhaus philosophy of teaching via practical experience and working with industry, a number of students were involved with the building project.
In 1996 the building was inscribed as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site now called the Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar, Dessau and Bernau, because of its testimony to the architectural influence of the Bauhaus movement.
