After more than a year, the district can install the new ventilation in the gymnasium of the secondary school.
The doors will remain closed until the end of 2021.
Holzkirchen
- Even after the forced Corona break, the gym at the Oberland Realschule Holzkirchen remained closed.
The reason: The district would like to install a ventilation system there (we reported).
So far there are none.
And the pandemic makes them urgently needed.
After a long wait, the reopening is now delayed again.
Sophie-Marie Stadler, press spokeswoman in the district office, finds clear words: "The colleagues from the school administration and building construction are terribly annoyed by this perceived work of eternity," she says. The third plan for ventilation is now on the table. "The colleagues can understand the criticism and the lack of understanding very well, because it is the same for them." Even more: "The colleagues have now been working on the topic for over a year and describe the subsequent installation of such a complex system in an existing building as Catastrophe."
First, a specialist engineering office for ventilation technology planned to install the ventilation on the skylights. “That didn't work because of the statics.” Then those responsible considered moving them under the roof. But: "Then the fire protection spoke against it." In the meantime, the third complete plan has been worked out. "This means that each part of the hall gets a single ventilation system and that these are installed on a kind of base."
Nothing now seems to speak against the third plan.
The scheduling agreements for the coordination of the individual trades have just been made.
"Based on the current state of affairs, we are assuming that construction work will begin in the fall and that it will hopefully be completed by the end of the year." The costs have not yet been determined, the district and municipality would have to split them up.
"If possible, school sports must continue to take place outside," says Stadler.
Here the district has pimped up the facility "in order to be able to offer at least some little treat": In addition, for example, there was new beach sand, new goal nets, and the tartan track was also repaired.
"But it is clear that the situation is unsatisfactory." The school itself could not be reached for a statement due to the vacation.
The recreational athletes who normally train in the secondary school gymnasium were distributed to the other halls in the area, according to Stadler. For example the handball players of the Sportfreunde Föching. "It's quite a catastrophe for us," says department head Michael Hahn. In summer, his protégés could train outside in Föching. But from autumn it will look bleak. Hahn was able to organize training times in the Batusa hall in the evenings for the B and A youth. “We are still looking for hall times for the minis.” First, the district administration said that the hall would be usable again after the summer holidays. But "the rumor mill" has been simmering for a long time. "So much time was wasted."
The volleyball players at TuS Holzkirchen are also “badly battered”, says department head Roland Fischer. Usually the Realschulhalle is their sporting home. “It's very difficult for us.” 50 percent of the training units are canceled. “We lose a lot of children.” During school, the volleyball players played alternatively in the hall at the grammar school and FOS. The problem: “The hall is closed during the holidays.” The same applies to the outdoor facilities there, including the beach volleyball court. The volleyball players can also use the Batusa hall. “But we are limited with the training times.” Because the competition is fierce, even if the cooperation with other departments is good. And in winter the footballers come in. Then it gets even tighter in the halls. "It is inconceivable that someone forgot to install ventilation",says Fischer. Hahn expects that his handball players will not be allowed to go back into the hall until February. Unless Corona then throws the athletes' bill.
According to the district office spokeswoman Stadler, the delay has an advantage: "There is a completely new federal funding program for such cases," she says. “So we will at least be able to benefit from a decent amount of funding - at least a little.
