Fifteen years after the Second World War, the number of secondary school pupils increased to such an extent that {{ill|Gymnasium Kirchenfeld|de}} was no longer large enough to accommodate all the pupils. A new school building had to be constructed. The project was realised between 1962 and 1965 by architects Hans Andres and Felix Wyler at the end of Bern's {{ill|Länggasse|de}} district in {{ill|Bremgartenwald|de}} - the new building was occupied by the municipal literary grammar school and the municipal secondary school in spring 1965. The building was officially inaugurated in 1966.

50th anniversary

The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2016 and events took place throughout the year. This included a re-enactment of a 1966 school day, a series of alumni meetings and the official ceremony on 17 June. As part of the anniversary, the documentary "Ein halbes Jahrhunder" (half a century) was produced by Denise Carla Haas.{{sfn|Haas|2017}}
