The City of Frankfurt plans the construction of several new module schools in timber construction or rather the extension of existing schools with timber modules.
The first measures concern the Marie Curie School in the Riedberg district, which opened in 2014, and the August-Gräser School in Schwanheim, both of which require additional premises due to increasing student numbers.
Bollinger+Grohmann have been commissioned by the general contractor with the Design Development and Permit Planning phase for the structural engineering and building physics.
The buildings are made up of multiple timber modules that can be connected to create spacious rooms and can be easily taken apart if needed. The timber modules are placed on a load-distributing steel grid, which sits on individual reinforced concrete point foundations. Both the steel grid and point foundations can be dismantled. Bollinger+Grohmann supervised the design, approval, and execution. The details, connections, assembly, and transport concepts were developed in direct collaboration with the timber constructor.
