School construction initiative in Berlin : the new Berlin schools News

The winners are. By the end of March, urban development Senator Katrin Lompscher (Left) wants to award the construction contracts. In two years, eleven will be new schools on a turnkey basis. The five buildings for three Classes per Year (three compartments) in four districts will be identical, the six four generous four districts as well. And possibly the same number of identical schools will be added in a second Bauwelle. "Types of structures" is meant to be, so that everything goes faster – cheaper, it is not however, quite the opposite.

In a huge pot with 5.5 billion Euro of the "Cost cap should sit" firmly, had been decided by the Senate. Now, however, Lompscher says: "This was by no knowledge." The "higher land requirements and the requirements of sustainable construction" the costs are rising. And anyway, the statement is true only if the orders are to the construction companies out of it. Because of the ongoing construction boom in Berlin dropped the prices recently sharply increased.

As a "base construction costs" for the schools with sports hall, around 18.7 million euros at the beginning of the planning for the three-compartment Model, 26 million for the four rapid. Extra costs may be incurred to adapt the standard model to the plot, it is discarded. The criticism that an open competition would have brought forth more variety and not always the same schools in the whole of Berlin, countered Lompscher with the big time pressure that did not allow a lengthy open competition. And education Senator Sandra Scheeres (SPD), said that the new schools are spread over a large urban area and would not be close to each other.

the school Senator raved about the new "communication schools" that allowed the results of the Association of school room concepts. Not less than the early practice of democracy, the goal: A "Forum" (the ancient greetings) is the "heart" of the school, around the rooms are divided. The teachers sit together with the teachers in the "team areas". Of these there are on each level and digitally upgraded, so that the breaks between the hours must not be a dash to the copier on the other bullet missed.

"Always together, and quickly responsive" students and teachers by grouping of spaces around the Forum. Where the students hang out and chill "there", like Scheeres says. The auditorium has spaces for the school Senator renamed "multi-purpose", which can be put together depending on your needs, and can separate for large and small events. The schools already have "" to open it. "A Ceremony can be held" – and the house can also be used by Associations or initiatives posted.

The cost of extra costs of higher environmental standards, a building certification in the "silver" is aimed to the right of the Bausenatorin customized with the consequent reduction in the operating.

And how the schools will look like? New buildings from the 1980s are not dissimilar: the elongated building of the body openings with a large rectangular window so plenty of light into the rooms. From the context, the prize-winner of the third place for the four-form entry schools were with their design: The designs show modules, reminiscent of a collection of mutually staggered town houses.

The design of the architects of the fall of. for the new elementary school on the Koppelweg in Neukölln was awarded the 2. Award in the category of...Simulation: the fall of.

it is Not excluded that this design comes in. The urban planning of the capital, the variety would do well – why shouldn't school also in architectural variety? It will be decided which of the three designs for the five three rapid and six with four parallel schools will have to prove their value realized, in the coming weeks, in discussion with the architects, their typed structures all concrete sites.

enough space will have the students: in Purely mathematical terms, more than ten square meters per capita: 5835 square meters for up to 576 students in the four-move schools and 4900 for 432 students in the three fast buildings. However, an educational institution cannot be a apartment or a office spaces such as the cafeteria to compare because of the need for community, the multi-purpose room or gym.

And what is the status of the school building offensive? "The state of Berlin wants to build 65 new schools in the next few years," says Lompscher. Add to this the smaller construction projects and modernizations in the districts. With this first competition and the first ten schools which are under construction or on the verge of almost half of the new schools is on the way: If in fact the selected designs in each of the four project tranches (two of five three-compartment and two-by-six-four-form entry new school buildings). To visit the brand-new educational facilities will be the latest in the year 2022: in Lichtenberg, Neukölln, Pankow, Marzahn-Hellersdorf, as well as in Mitte and Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg.
