Refurbishment of the Görres-Gymnasium: History meets modern comfort!
Refurbishment of the Görres-Gymnasium: History meets modern comfort!
The Görres-Gymnasium in Koblenz, as the oldest high school in the city with a story that goes back to the 16th century, has recently undergone a comprehensive renovation. A significant part of the school building, which was built in 1894 and is now a listed building, has been subjected to an energetic facade renovation. This measure was particularly necessary for the extension, which was built in 1974 as a reinforced concrete skeleton structure with an uninsulated concrete curtain facade. The renovation was carried out in three temporary construction phases so as not to disturb the ongoing school operations, which required a complex process organization.
The architecture firm Ternes Architects from Koblenz took over the planning of the project. They worked closely with various offices, authorities and the users of the school. The focus was not only on an aesthetic design, but also on aspects of sustainability and freedom of maintenance of the materials.
facade modernization and sustainability
The FC facade system of Kalzip, which was adapted to the specific dimensions of the project, was selected for the renovation. With a structured look in bronze B40, the new curtain facade fits harmoniously into the area. The use of aluminum with up to 98% recycling proportion underlines the sustainable approach. In addition, the material variety used can be dismantled, which promises long -term environmental advantages.The renovation enables the integration of an insulation layer, which significantly improves the building's energy balance. L-wall holders and thermal stop are used to minimize thermal bridges. The robust panels are not only insensitive to ball throws, but also easy to clean, which increases their durability. In the event of damage, the panels can be easily replaced.
challenges and requirements
The energetic renovation of the cultivation placed high demands on monument protection and fire protection. This also includes the dismantling of building parts and the removal of building maintenance and fire protection defects. The measures include not only the facade renovation, but also the production of new extensions and escape routes, the integration of an outside sun and dazzling protection as well as the creation of barrier-free access by a new elevator system.
The complex organization on the construction site during the ongoing school operating was also a challenge. The renovation should preserve the historical value of the school building, which required the development of a functional facade architecture that met the requirements of monument protection. The success of this renovation measure shows that monument protection and energy -efficient renovation can be combined and sustainable changes in the building fabric are possible.
By implementing these extensive renovation measures, not only the learning location for the students is upgraded, but also a significant reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This shows the growing trend in the construction industry, in which the focus is increasingly on sustainability and CO2 reduction, also with listed real estate. The architectural monument Increasing energy prices and growing environmental awareness of energetic renovations of monument properties are becoming increasingly important.
