So that the pupils and the Kingergarten children of Trachslau do not have to make the journey to Einsiedeln every day, the school building with a gymnasium and a double kindergarten were built entirely in wood.
An extension will enable the Kindergarten to be integrated into the Stadel elementary school. It creates the required additional space for all children.
Around 100 students cook, work or make music in the new school wing in Dotzigen. The wooden building convinces with a generous and flexible room concept - which requires a well thought-out structural concept.
The Marzili school complex was built between 1946 and 1950 as a municipal girls' school. Today it is as an important contemporary witness to the construction of school buildings in the 20th century and is listed in the cantonal inventory as "worthy of protection”.
Thanks to an extension and an addition, the school building Gallenbüel in Aeugst am Albis once again offers enough space for all pupils. Timbatec was responsible for the statics and fire protection.
The new day care centre of the Ilgen school complex is located in idyllic surroundings: trees stand around the building designed by the architects Wolfgang Rossbauer and Susanne Triller; a city grove in which the day care centre blends harmoniously with the wooden facade.
The former farm with barn and shed has been converted and now houses apartments, studios and a playgroup. The intercultural garden remains a meeting point and place for encounters.
The primary school building in Niedersimmental in the Canton of Berne has reached its capacity limits. Wood from the municipality's own forests was used for the extension.
Timbatec's engineers planned and managed the replacement of the existing facade during the complete renovation of the Bäumlihof school complex. On the wooden construction 18 millimetre thick fibre glass reinforced concrete panels were installed.
In Villars-sûr-Glâne, two school buildings were renovated and the gymnasium and the wooden connecting wing were rebuilt - while the school was running. For everyone involved, this meant planning the work very carefully.
The two new buildings on the Lange Heid school site in Münchenstein BL are dominated by wood: apart from the building cores, the two school buildings are largely made of the natural building material.
At the initiative of Timbatec, the new school complex in Bassersdorf produced even more timber than planned. Originally, only the walls of the gym were to be made of timber, but the roof of concrete. Timbatec also proposed to build the roof in timber construction in order to save costs.
The new Allmend school complex in Oberengstringen not only offers urgently needed classrooms, but also new group rooms that allow contemporary forms of teaching. The new school building was built as a hybrid of concrete and timber.
Köniz is growing oversized. In no municipality around Bern has the population grown more in recent years than in Köniz - and it is getting younger and younger. Two existing school buildings were therefore each extended by one timber floor.
The over 60 year old double kindergarten Roos in Regensdorf was replaced by a new building with four rooms. The timber buildings create a particularly pleasant learning environment.
Timber shapes the everyday school life of the children in the Schachenmatten schoolhouse in Bonstetten. The school building, built in 2015, is a hybrid building with concrete ceilings and load-bearing exterior walls made of timber. The example shows: Timber construction is also becoming increasingly important in public buildings.
Extension of the Allenlüften school complex (municipality of Mühleberg) - the winning project of the architectural office Planrand GmbH.
The new building consists of two floors and accommodates six basic rooms. The municipal library on the upper floor has a separate entrance.
The Zurich International School in Wädenswil decided to add a floor to its classrooms to provide additional classrooms.
With more frequent use, the requirements for a building also increase. This also applies to this school complex in Horgen.
In order to create more classroom space, the Walkringen school will have an additional floor and a new outdoor lift.
According to a decision by Lucerne's city council, the small school building in the residential area of Büttenen was to be demolished and not replaced. The children should have gone to a school much further away. The solution?
The new double kindergarten in Uttigen was planned and constructed as a pure timber building. The building should be simple and inexpensive. The use should also remain variable - school meetings should also be able to take place there.
The community of Lohn-Ammansegg wants to build a new double kindergarten. The planned object consists of 2 cubes, which are positioned laterally and offset in height on a slight slope.
Here a two-story " backpack " extension to the existing building was to be realized, with adaptation of the existing eaves and transitions to the first building. The façade should be constructed with painted timber formwork.
According to the architects' plans, the Vogelbuch school building was to be extended by one classroom length. In addition, the entrance area, break hall and group room were redesigned.
Between the existing school building and the auditorium, a two-story timber intermediate structure was to be constructed. Closed to the street, but completely glazed on the courtyard side and supplemented with a two-story break hall.
An exceptional tender, a large construction volume and a short construction period characterize this project.
