accessibility and security

As part of the renovation, a disabled elevator was installed in the new building, as well as an emergency exit that leads directly to the outside. The interiors were also renovated: floors were replaced, blankets renewed and walls were freshly painted. During the construction work, the lessons did not take place in the classically designed rooms, but in containers in the schoolyard, which was a special challenge for the school community.

The Schloss School Braunfels is centrally located in the historic center of Braunfels and is one of the most important educational institutions in the district. The extensive renovation measures were necessary to fix structural and fire protection defects and to adapt the premises to modern requirements. The entire conversion cost around 6 million euros.

sustainable renovation approaches in schools

The challenges of renovations are often necessary to maintain school operations. This not only requires good planning, but also clear communication with the school community. Reviews of the German tender practices, which often prefer the cheapest provider, can lead to the quality of the renovation work, which ultimately also affects educational institutions. This is also reflected in the experiences of school leaders who are proud of new school buildings that meet the needs of schoolchildren and teachers alike.
