The new school building, located in Wismar for 360 children, should bring joy and fun to learning.
With a gross floor area of 2900 m2, the new building of the Protestant School Robert Lansemann was commissioned by the School Foundation of the North Church in the Hanseatic City of Wismar. The school teaches around 360 school children from Grade 1 through to Grade 6. W&V Architekten Berlin/Leipzig were the winners of the 2013 competition.
After securing the planning permissions and financial backing in Autumn 2018, Terhalle Holzbau GmbH ensured that the wood construction was professional and on schedule. Various EGGER wood-based panels (a total of 223m³); which were sourced from the EGGER Plant based in Wismar, were used for the school building in single-storey timber panel construction. The use of regionally sourced, high-quality building materials was important to the school foundation and school advisory board.
EGGER OSB 3 E0 board was used as load-bearing planking for the roof and floor construction. In sanded finish, they partly form the wall cladding. EGGER OSB 4 TOP boards were used in parts of the wall constructions as airtight, load-bearing planking. In a sanded version, they set an additional decorative accent as large-area wall cladding visible from the room side.
In order to meet the applicable fire protection requirements, the load-bearing walls had to offer a fire resistance of at least 30 minutes. Proof of the wall construction used was provided by a general building inspection test certificate (abP). As a result, the originally planned vapour permeable underlay board was also replaced by the EGGER DHF underlay board. This not only resulted in better prefabrication, transport and installation of the wood panel elements, but also contributed to increased sound and heat insulation.
After the first few days in the new school building, the teaching staff spoke highly of the acoustics in the room and the calming ambiance of the roomusing wooden surfaces and tones. At the festive inauguration and handing over of the keys by Minister Pegel on 29.11.2019, a poem written by the pupils was aptly titled "...Nothing is a must, everything is a possibility - I feel Lansemann today.”
