Specialist planning of the structure

Brief description of the project for the competition:

In the Lower Taunus on the outskirts of the core town of Idstein is the Limesschule, a cooperative comprehensive school with upper secondary school, which currently consists of four components. The Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis intends to build a 2 -3 storey new building or extension to component D at the Limesschule.

For this purpose, we are currently putting together the planning team and are looking for

an office for "structural design" - LPH 1-9

Building D (grammar school area) was built in 2009-2011. See site plan and floor plans. Opposite the planned extension is component B from 1977 with the natural sciences.

Building D has no basement, consists of a 2-3-storey solid construction with ETICS with partial metal cladding and a prefabricated metal roof in the form of a monopitch roof. There is an elevator in component D. Building B also has no basement in the southern area, 2-storey with a flat roof. In the area of the planned new building, there is an outdoor elevator and a disabled ramp in the outdoor facilities. The terrain is filled up, here adjustments are necessary.

Since the Limesschule lacks premises due to the steadily increasing number of pupils, nine classroom pavilions have already been set up. In cooperation between the users and the RTK, a preliminary spatial program was created, which shows a total gross floor area of approx. 950 m². The space programme essentially includes:

8 classrooms, 2 larger common rooms, material and meeting rooms/teacher base, toilet facilities, cleaning and technical rooms.

In the adjacent outdoor area of the new building complex, adjustments to the existing road and fire brigade areas will be necessary as well as to ensure barrier-free building access on all floors.

In total, costs of € 3,875,000 are estimated for the new building. (Total project costs, gross). The net eligible costs based on the preliminary space programme are:

Kostengruppe 300: 1.883.000 €

Kostengruppe 400: 470.000 €

The construction method is open as long as the model school construction guideline and all other corresponding legal requirements are complied with. The final decision is incumbent on the committees of the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis.

The basics are being further developed in the meantime. Should you advance to the next phase (submission of tenders) after your application, these as well as other as-built plans, etc. provided. The aim is to start planning immediately. Completion is planned for August 2025.
