The municipality of Hohenhameln must expand the currently 3-track expanded site of the Hohenhameln primary school to a 4-track layout and additionally create a spatial offer for full-day care including a canteen. The background to the planning task is the almost simultaneous termination of the school district cooperation for two localities of the municipality with the neighbouring city of Peine and by the Landkreis Peine for the premises of the full-day care including canteen use in the district-owned school centre in the locality of Hohenhameln. Starting in the 2027/28 school year, the respective first-graders will also be enrolled at the Hohenhameln site, so that the 4-track layout will be fully achieved by the 2030/31 school year. There is still a room reserve for another classroom in the existing structure, so that from the 2028/29 school year, temporary room containers will already have to be used. Within the framework of a feasibility study, various options at both primary school sites of the municipality were examined and evaluated. The politically decided result of the attached study represents an option at the Hohenhameln site (reallocation of the West wing, replacement new building including extension of the North wing, extension of the East wing) and can be used for orientation in planning. The addition of a canteen recommended in the first version of the feasibility study was politically requested together with full-day care. For this purpose, only the floor plan concept was subsequently supplemented with regard to an open all-day school concept. The structural expansion of the school is to be essentially limited to the current plot of land, parcel 13/17. The lime tree standing centrally in the schoolyard represents an ideal value and its preservation is desirable but not mandatory. On the eastern adjacent parcel, parcel 13/18, sufficient space must be reserved for the optional construction of a 2-court sports hall at a later date and, furthermore, a structural connection to the school building must be provided without renewed restructuring of the school and care rooms. The area can be fully used for the temporary provision of room containers during the construction and renovation phase. The services for planning, tendering and erection of the room containers are not part of this planning order. The adjacent parcel 208/13 to the north can be included in the planning for development in the edge area, provided that the use as a football pitch is not impaired. The existing old trees are to be preserved ideally. The school building originally dates from the 1930s and was extended on the west wing facing the road by a flat roof extension in 2001. The West wing is two-storey, the East and North wings are single-storey, each with gable roofs. The building-connecting North wing consists on the south side towards the schoolyard of an open colonnade, on the north side there are essentially the sanitary facilities as well as caretaker and storage rooms. The north-western part of the building is cellared. The attic of the West wing is accessible by a staircase and is used as a storage room. The insulation of the facades and the attic ceilings was successively supplemented in the 2010s. The core substance of the building shows no apparent damage and can be reused in principle with adaptation/ supplementation of the insulation of the building shell, implementation of acoustic ceilings/ elements and renewal of the building services. The room programme created by the school sponsor must be checked in the planning for compliance with current regulations and laws as well as the school construction recommendations and taken into account after coordination in the planning process.
