Erich-Kästner Realschule

The Erich-Kästner-Realschule is planning to replace its existing building with a new one. In addition, a three-court sports hall will be built on the site. The ground floor of the school building will have rooms for administration, teaching staff, and a canteen. The classrooms and a school kitchen will be located on the three floors above. The rooms from the first floor upwards will be grouped around two atriums, which will expand on the third floor to allow daylight to reach the lower floors. The building will have a partial basement and will mainly be used as an underground car park, along with some technical rooms.

The school building's supporting structure is made of either solid, jointless reinforced concrete or steel composite construction. The three-court sports hall's supporting structure has two construction methods: the sports hall, stands, and surrounding perimeter structure are solidly constructed, while the roof structure and its supports are made of a steel frame construction with trussed girders. The sports hall's roof covering will be designed as a timber box ceiling.
