Project description

This expansion project consists of two below-ground and five above-ground stories; because of the inclined façade, the floor space afforded by each story varies. Chiefly storage rooms, utility rooms, dressing rooms, and parking spaces are located in the two below-ground stories. Mostly class rooms, staff kitchens, and dining rooms are located in the five above-ground stories.
Constructional measures were carried out in the existing building, which is under protection as an historical monument. Design of the room supporting structure. The room structure is an integral part of the structural support. Securing of the excavation pit: The existent provincial vocational school was underpinned by means of a deep-anchored jet-grouted wall. Structural support in steel-reinforced concrete; the structure's envelope is made of double-shelled steel-reinforced concrete walls with cavity insulation. The jointless exposed concrete shell ensures a low-maintenance façade in keeping with the building's expected lifecycle, with low overall lifecycle costs.
