Germany – Load-bearing structure design services – Sanierung und Umbau Mehrzweckhalle Gemeinde Kronau_TWP

The multi-purpose hall in Kronau was built between 1965 and 1967 and has since fulfilled one of the most important functions for the municipality of Kronau. It is the hub of the clubs and the administration. It is used as a sports hall/school sports hall, for concerts, cultural events, as a polling station, etc. The term multi-purpose hall is apt and does justice to the building due to its varied use. The hall is a steel-concrete construction, with solid masonry walls, spectator stands, a stage, sanitary facilities and a former catering area. After 60 years of intensive use, the hall is in a condition that requires extensive renovation. To get a feel for the structural and technical situation, the municipality commissioned a study in 2025 to determine the condition, a general renovation and to draw up a possible master plan for the further use of the property. The architecture firm mrma was awarded the contract and presented the corresponding results to the municipal council by January 2026. It is clear today that a costly, extensive renovation of the hall must be undertaken. The renovation should be approached from the following points of view: 1. Core renovation of the multi-purpose hall 2. Creation of additional training areas for sports clubs/school sports 3. Retention of the character of the overall complex 4. Development of a fire safety concept 5. Renovation of building services incl. ventilation 6. Consideration and possible restoration of the existing parking spaces in front of the hall 7. Consideration of the interests of the clubs, as far as covered by the funding conditions 8. Creation of one or more kitchens for events 9. Energy renovation taking into account and integrating the heating concept (district heating network) 10. Retention of the underfloor heating and further development of the heating concept 11. Load-bearing capacity of the roof for PV systems 12. Creation of a room that can be used for both sport and culture (see feasibility study) 13. Creation of barrier-free access 14. Further development/overhaul of the existing concept taking into account the funding programme: "Renovation of municipal sports facilities" and possibly further funding programmes 15. Consideration of a cost framework of 13.7 MIO EUR
