The official construction start for the expansion and renovation of the Jakob Brucker High School in Kaufbeuren was celebrated on 26 July 2017 with a symbolic groundbreaking as part of the school festival. This was the beginning of a comprehensive modernization and expansion of the school complex with a total investment of around 22 million euros, in which KREBS+KIEFER from locations in Karlsruhe and Munich is responsible for complete structural engineering planning.
The overall construction measures will be implemented in 3 construction phases taking until autumn 2020. Initially, a new specialised classroom section for scientific classrooms with connecting bridges to the existing buildings will be erected on the middle part of the school grounds. The southern building complex from the 1970s, which has considerable deficiencies in the area of fire protection and construction physics, is being gutted and renovated in two on-going construction phases.
The construction measures are funded by the Federal Republic of Germany as a pilot project within the framework of the "Educational Buildings in the Efficiency House Plus Standard" funding program and by finance from the Bavarian Free State and thus enjoys a very high degree of support.
Stefan Bosse, Lord Mayor of the City of Kaufbeuren, emphasized that this project is a lighthouse project that is well known far beyond city boundaries and will be exemplary in its energy consumption conception. Christof Walter, headmaster of the high school, was very happy that it was finally moving forward and that the well thought-out overall concept gives the school campus a new centre and is a guiding principle for the development of the school with modern teaching methods.
KREBS+KIEFER is currently active in the field of structural planning with 14 school buildings with 6 sports arenas and is thereby partially responsible for building physics and preventive fire protection.
