Germany – Architectural, engineering and planning services – Objektplanungsleistungen für das Gesamtprojekt Schulcampus Damgarten

On an approximately 1.5 ha site north of the Stralsunder Chaussee (B105) in the Damgarten district, a school campus is to be created together with the site of the adjacent gymnasium to the north and west. This campus will include a new building for the Regional School "Rudolf Harbig" and the Löwenzahn Primary School, including a double gymnasium and outdoor facilities. An intensive process with stakeholders from the schools and the involved school sponsors City of Ribnitz-Damgarten (Regional School), Evangelical School Foundation (Primary School) and Landkreis Vorpommern-Rügen (Gymnasium) has developed a pedagogical space and function book that will serve as the basis for further planning. This process was led and accompanied by the company Lernlandschaft from Röckingen. To implement the resulting space programme for the two schools, a gross floor area of approximately 8,400 m² is required, which is to be realised predominantly as a new building. A smaller part of this requirement (specialist rooms for the orientation stage) is planned as a renovation and conversion in the existing gymnasium (approximately 774 m² GFA) to sensibly integrate the capacities available there, which are not necessarily required in the long term. Initial considerations include an extension of the building to accommodate specific specialist classrooms. Access to this additional floor should be realised via a barrier-free ramp, taking into account the local conditions. This separate access could avoid the installation of another lift. It is also noted that the client does not have sufficiently informative existing records of the building. Therefore, a digital survey may be required. The extension to include a flexible specialist classroom wing, which both school types can use, ensures the implementation of the planned cluster model of the secondary school with separate rooms for the individual year groups. To secure school sports, the construction of a double gymnasium with corresponding outdoor sports facilities must be taken into account. The site around the buildings is to be developed and designed according to the usage requirements in the sense of a common campus that opens up to the city. In addition to the topographical and technical challenges of the relatively uneven terrain, the traffic connection for all types of traffic must be functionally and technically solved, with access from the south via the B105 being planned. It should also be noted that the construction of a production kitchen is envisaged. To what extent this can be realised will be weighed up on the basis of future planning and the resulting construction costs. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2029. The property matters are currently still being clarified.
