Laying of the foundation stone for modern modular construction by FOS/BOS in Wunsiedel!

An important day for education in the Wunsiedel district: On June 25, 2025, the laying of the foundation stone for the new modular building of the technical and vocational high school (FOS/BOS) was celebrated. Numerous personalities gathered at the celebratory ceremony, including District Administrator Peter Berek, Mayor Oliver Weigel, the managing director of the district's innovation and service company (IDF), Florian Ernst, as well as school principal Michael Schmidt and others involved. The sunken time capsule, filled with a daily newspaper, building plans, euro coins and the school's annual report, also provided a symbolic highlight of the event.

The new building, which is being built on the site of the Otto-Hahn-Gymnasium (OHG), features an innovative modular design. This design has proven to be particularly effective as it delivers quick implementation and high-quality results. The construction project is expected to be completed in November/December 2025 and involves an investment sum of around 6.6 million euros. During the general renovation of the OHG, the new modular building will also offer space for high school students.

Modern learning conditions for students

What makes modular construction so special? This new building will house 14 classrooms and an IT room and is also barrier-free. Equipped with a photovoltaic system, the building should not only meet modern standards, but also use sustainable energy sources. The focus of the project is on creating contemporary learning conditions and flexible educational spaces, which are intended to promote the students' individual development and interest development. The approach taken here makes both ecological and economic sense. According to KLEUSBERG, a leading provider of modular construction, school spaces can be quickly and cost-effectively adapted to the needs of students. Noise protection and time efficiency during construction are also emphasized, which is particularly advantageous for universities.

“The modular design makes it possible to react flexibly to space requirements,” explains a spokesman for KLEUSBERG. “The expansions can be implemented up to 70% faster without disrupting ongoing school operations.” This opportunity to design buildings in an apparently dynamic way also responds to the current challenge in which schools often quickly need additional space.

Sustainability and quality in focus

Another aspect that should not go unmentioned when laying the foundation stone is the sustainable execution of the modular construction. BplusL emphasizes that the materials used are durable and include innovative solutions such as solar power and electric charging stations. These aspects not only contribute to reducing the ecological footprint, but also support schools in instilling environmentally conscious values ​​in their educational culture. In addition, the companies that invest in this type of construction guarantee adherence to deadlines and a comprehensive service from planning to implementation, which rounds off the whole project.

Overall, the laying of the foundation stone for the new modular building of the Wunsiedel technical and vocational high school represents progress in the region's education sector. The aim is to provide students with the best possible preparation for their future with high-quality, flexible facilities. The commitment of those responsible for modern learning environments is not only commendable, but also urgently necessary in order to meet the challenges of everyday educational life.
