Germany – Engineering services – Gemeinde Morbach - Umbau und Erweiterung der Kita Gonzerath, Los 2 - Planungsleistungen der Technischen Ausrüstung HLS und Elektro

The municipality of Morbach intends to carry out comprehensive renovation of a partial area and the expansion of the Gonzerath day-care centre. The starting point of the measure is a water damage to the extension of the day-care centre, which was detected in 2024. During the removal of the damage, it was found that, due to the contamination of the insulation located in the floor structure, a complete demolition of the affected building part is necessary. During the demolition work, another significant structural defect was discovered, which was not due to the water damage. Therefore, a mere restoration of the existing building stock is neither technically nor economically sensible. At the same time, there is an additional spatial need for adaptation and expansion due to the requirements of the Kindertagesstättengesetz Rheinland-Pfalz (KiTa-Zukunftsgesetz). The existing areas no longer fully meet the current functional requirements for operating a three-group day-care centre. In particular, additional areas are required for a kitchen with catering for up to 60 children, food and domestic rooms, a bistro or multifunctional area, further rest and ancillary rooms, storage areas and additional traffic areas. To create the necessary expansion areas, the municipality has acquired an immediately adjacent plot of land. Thus, there are now the planning and factual prerequisites to further develop the day-care centre site in the long term and to cover the future space requirements. The subject of the measure is therefore not only the renovation of the existing water damage, but the holistic structural and functional reorganisation of the site. The renovation of part of the existing building, including the removal of the existing damage, and the construction of an extension building on the newly acquired areas are planned. In addition, the outdoor facilities must be adapted to the new building structure and functionally and aesthetically reordered. The aim is to create a modern, economical and sustainable day-care centre that meets the requirements of the KiTa-Zukunftsgesetz and enables long-term future-proof operation. It must be taken into account that the construction and renovation work must be carried out during the ongoing operation of the day-care centre in the existing building.
