Construction of the Vettersstraße secondary school
At its meeting today, the city council approved the construction of the three-form entry secondary school at Vettersstrasse 34, including a two-court sports hall. The school construction is necessary because the secondary school sub-network plan has identified a capacity requirement of at least six classes in the city by 2024/25. The Annenschule secondary school is due to move into the site for the 2023/2024 school year.
Before construction can begin, the old school building on the site must be demolished. Refurbishment was considered, but was then ruled out. This would have resulted in permanent restrictions for the school in terms of future use, the room programme, sound insulation, accessibility, room heights and the connection to the sports hall. A four-storey barrier-free building with an inner courtyard is planned. The inner courtyard will be equipped with seating steps. There will also be a two-court sports hall in the building complex.
The main entrance leads into the open stairwell. There is also a direct connection to the inner courtyard from here. From the inner courtyard, the outdoor facilities and the sports areas can be accessed via the staircase with a seating area and barrier-free ramps. Between the entrance areas, the canteen and assembly hall area becomes the central point. The canteen offers a view of the inner courtyard with its outdoor seating area. A central lift and ramps provide accessibility. Bright, well-lit learning zones with integrated seating niches create places for all pupils to relax and retreat.
The sports hall is integrated into the building. Pupils access the stairwells via the main corridor. The sports hall with seating for 199 spectators is located on the first floor.
The changing rooms and sanitary facilities are on the ground floor. The school club, which can be used all day, adjoins the green inner courtyard.
A large-scale photovoltaic system and a green roof are planned on the roof of the building as a contribution to energy efficiency and climate improvement.
Construction is scheduled to begin in October 2020 and end in March 2023 at a cost of around 33.5 million. Around nine million of this amount has been earmarked for subsidies.
