Germany – Engineering design services – Neubau Bildungscampus Eslohe - Tragwerksplanung

At the educational site in Eslohe is located the central competence centre for the roofing trade in Westphalia. The site combines vocational training, accommodation for trainees, catering services, and further education and training measures in a coherent campus. The existing building infrastructure predominantly dates from 1968 and 1985. The current buildings do not meet today's requirements for a modern educational and residential facility, in terms of their functional structure, as well as their construction, energy efficiency, and use-specific quality. In particular, the existing mixed use of teaching, administration, accommodation, and catering within the current buildings leads to organisational limitations and hinders a contemporary implementation of the educational mandate. The accommodation situation in the dormitory area also no longer meets current requirements. The predominantly existing multi-bed rooms with shared sanitary facilities offer only limited living and accommodation quality. Furthermore, there are deficiencies in the leisure, living, and communication areas for the trainees. Within the framework of a feasibility study, various development options for the site were examined. 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-related requirements are met in the long term and, at the same time, the ongoing school and dormitory operation is guaranteed during the realisation.
