As the density of existing residential areas in the district of Pankow is being increased with the continuing increase in the population, the district of Pankow is planning to create additional capacity in the facilities that make up the social infrastructure. To secure the supply of school places in the long term and to cope with the increased number of pupils in the district of Pankow, combined with the district’s responsibility under school legislation, two modular school buildings need to be built to provide temporary extensions at two locations used by existing educational institutions:
-LOG D – Primary School at Hamburger Platz
-LOG E – Primary school in the Mosel district
A temporary extension in the form of a modular school building will be built at each of the sites D and E, which includes an adaptation of the outdoor facilities specific to each site.
The plans for both sites include building two clear and simple 2-storey buildings on a defined framework, which will accommodate the classrooms and ancillary rooms that are needed.
An additional canteen for up to 660 meals a day will be created at the primary school on Hamburger Platz. Up to 160 pupils and teaching staff will be able to eat their lunch at the same time.
The façades will be made of fiber cement panels in coordination with the city planning department. These are sufficiently robust and support the design of the existing façade concept of openness and enclosure.
The total of eleven new classrooms will provide enough space for the additional learners, to ensure a sustainable improvement in the district’s internal and regional educational capacity in terms of school places.
