Markt Schwaben - The Markt Markt Schwaben announced in a press release a few weeks ago that there will be delays in the construction of the new school center.
Now the municipal administration has spoken again on this matter.
Accordingly, the shell has now been completed, and the trades for the "shell" have now been awarded.
These concern the facades, the roof and the wooden structure for the future triple gym.
According to the town hall, work on the roof began in September, so assembly of the first facade elements was planned for October.
“The current difficult situation in the construction market and in the procurement of materials unfortunately also affects the company we have commissioned.
Their suppliers can now only give non-binding or approximate delivery dates for the profiles for windows and mullion-transom facades, ”it now says.
This fact now has a direct effect on the schedule of the school construction project.
Specifically, this means that the assembly of the wooden facade will be postponed, which will again result in a delay in the construction process.
The commune has currently been promised the start of assembly of the facades for January 2022, according to the announcement.
Accordingly, the interior expansion work can only slowly pick up speed, as this requires a tight building.
According to the municipality, these circumstances again have an impact on the overall construction schedule, so that the commissioning of the new primary and secondary school center will now be postponed to the first day of school in September 2023.
Difficulty getting building materials
In the course of the corona pandemic, there were also intensive discussions and consultations on the subject of ventilation and air purification. For the new building of the municipal school center, various concepts for air purification (based on controlled, mechanical fresh air supply) were developed and put to the test in the course of this year. A hybrid ventilation concept turned out to be the only feasible variant that expands the previously designed ventilation system and can still be integrated into the current construction process. As a result, the municipal council recently decided to integrate this hybrid ventilation in all classrooms and specialist teaching rooms.
For this purpose, ventilation devices are installed on the building roofs and ventilation outlets on the ceilings in the corresponding rooms, which effect a continuous and controlled exchange of room air.
"Natural ventilation still possible"
"Natural ventilation by opening the window is still possible," it says explicitly.
With this concept, a maximum of indoor air quality will be ensured for the new school center in Markt Schwaben, it is said.
Further information and the answers to the most important questions about the current school building can be found on the municipality's website at www.markt-schwaben.de/schulneubau.
A picture gallery and short films on the progress of the construction site are also available here in fast motion, which are regularly expanded.
