New school building in Wittenburg: Sustainability for 800 students!
New school building in Wittenburg: Sustainability for 800 students!
A trend-setting step for education in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district: At the Wittenburg high school center, the foundation for a modern school building was laid today. The new building replaces a dilapidated old building that had to be torn down due to structural defects. The ceremony in which all students took part marks the beginning of an ambitious project that should not only optimize the learning conditions but also the environmental balance of the school. Nordkurier reports that the new building is built as a CO2-neutral building from natural building materials to enable around 800 pupils.
The headmistress Bärbel Liebscher emphasized the school's commitment at the ceremony. In this way, the new building will not only be sustainable and energy -efficient, but will also contain numerous innovative elements. Among other things, a wooden frame construction with durable wooden outer cladding and a photovoltaic system that is to be installed on the green roof are planned. Accessibility also plays a major role: the new building will be accessible, even for the listed old building. a forward -looking concept
It all started in 2011 when the high school center was created by merging the Christian-Ludwig-Liskow-Gymnasium and the Hans-Franck School. Today it is the largest school in the district that is not only committed to the transfer of knowledge, but also to promote sustainability skills. As part of initiatives such as the “climate -neutral school”, students work together with teachers to record and reduce the school's energy consumption and emissions. The initiative aims to systematically reduce climate-damaging emissions in order to make a real contribution to environmental and climate protection.
During the construction phase, the students have to adapt to temporary restrictions inside, since they have less space in the school yard and lessons take place in containers. But the anticipation for the new building predominates. The teachers have already had positive feedback after teaching containers had been used since the 1990s. The implementation of the new building with a total volume of around 17.5 million euros, with nine million euros from the state school building program, will soon offer the pupils: interior and teachers will soon offer better learning conditions.
step by step to sustainability
Sustainability in everyday school life is a topic that is close to the heart. The latest impulses from education for sustainable development, supported by UNESCO, offer the school valuable suggestions. The UNESCO-project schools show, for example, how through initiatives such as climate parliaments and regionally oriented dining plans in the school canteen can be aware of an awareness of ecological topics. Such approaches could also be used at the school in Wittenburg and further sharpen the educational profile.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the laying of the foundation stone for the new school building at the high school center of Wittenburg is a progress in several ways. Not only is the school modernized, it also sets a strong sign of environmental awareness and sustainable education, in the sense of the global sustainability goals.| Details | |
