Project description
In interdisciplinary cooperation, W+P Gesellschaft für Projektrealisierung mbH and PLAN FORWARD GmbH, both companies of WOLFF GRUPPE Holding GmbH, realized the extension and refurbishment of the municipal elementary school Styrum into a 3-stream school with all-day operation and cafeteria for the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr. W+P carried out the general planning, while PLAN FORWARD was responsible for the design.
Basis for the design is the preservation and overall renovation of three existing buildings as well as the extension of an annex and the addition of a new building. This was preceded by an int-depth investigation in the context of the construction task as well as subsequent feasibility studies exploring various pedagogical concepts. From several possible scenarios, a favored variant emerged, which was concretized in the course of further planning and thus implemented.
A new three-story building with a basement was created, which is connected to the existing building on the second floor via a bridge. The rooms for the “Offene Ganztagsschule (OGS)”, which can be used independently, are also located here. The first floor houses the new cafeteria for 150 students with kitchen and ancillary rooms. Additionally, a two-story extension with two classrooms each is being built parallel to the new building and will be attached to the existing building from 1958 on the eastern side of the building. The new building was created using a combination of modular and conventional construction methods and was move-in-ready at the end of 2019.
The next step was to renovate the existing building and finish the interior of the annex. The facade and the class and teacher areas were renovated with special consideration for pollutants. The building, which dates back to 1899, was gutted down to the foundation walls and then rebuilt. During the renovation work, the students moved into the new building and temporarily into the new extension of the neighboring “Willy-Brandt-Schule”, which was realized simultaneously – also by the WOLFF GRUPPE companies – until the end of 2019.
Construction began in the 2nd quarter of 2019, in spring 2021 the overall measures (new building, extension and refurbishment) was completed.
