Germany – Fire and explosion protection and control consultancy services – Neubau Bildungscampus Eslohe - Brandschutz

The educational centre in Eslohe is home to the central competence centre for the roofing trade in Westphalia. The site combines vocational training, accommodation for trainees, catering facilities, and further education and training measures on a single campus. The existing building infrastructure dates mainly from 1968 and 1985. The current buildings no longer meet the requirements for a modern educational and residential facility in terms of their functional structure, as well as their structural, energy, and usage-specific quality. In particular, the existing mixed use of teaching, administration, accommodation, and catering within the current buildings leads to organisational constraints and makes it difficult to implement the educational mandate in a contemporary way. The accommodation situation in the residential area also no longer meets current requirements. The predominantly existing multi-bed rooms with shared sanitary facilities offer only limited living and accommodation quality. In addition, there are deficiencies in the leisure, living, and communication areas for the trainees. Various development options for the site were examined as part of a feasibility study. Based on the results, the contracting authority has decided to implement a replacement new-build concept. This will ensure that the functional, organisational, pedagogical, and energy requirements are met in the long term, while at the same time ensuring the smooth running of the school and residential operations during implementation.
