Two building blocks form the Leibniz Gymnasium Dortmund International School: an older structure and a Neubau (new building). The Raumplan shows three levels—the basement, ground floor, and first floor—with Neubau sections beginning with room numbers in the 3xx range. The foyer was renovated in 2009, giving the entrance a brighter, more welcoming space. A room is available for after-school care (Übermittagbetreuung). The Cafeteria appears in new splendor and serves lunch, with a Kiosk beside it; both are run with the support of the Elternpflegschaft (parents' council) and the Förderverein (booster club).
