New building for Liezen: 30 million euros for modern school!

Liezen in the Styrian city of Liezen is laid for a new era in the education sector. The federal school cluster Liezen is extensively modernized and receives a new building worth 30 million euros. The decision for a new building was made, since the renovation of the existing building from the 1970s would be associated with considerable additional costs, as

The new building is built on the same property in the center of Liezen, but is shifted spatially. This is to ensure that the lessons can largely take place in the old building until the construction work was completed in autumn 2030. Wolfgang Lechner, the school principal of the BSC Liezen, emphasizes that this solution enables smooth school operations while the new premises are created at the same time.

sustainability in focus

A central aspect of the new building is the more sustainable management that is connected to it. In terms of energy efficiency and ecological quality, the planned buildings are intended to rely on the latest standards. According to the Federal Immobilien Society (BIG), this becomes an important criterion in planning. The architects of Work Space, who have already designed the ISTA kindergarten in Klosterneuburg, are not only characterized by innovative ideas, but also by a good knack for sustainable solutions.

You have come up with another trick: the U-shaped new building needs 25 percent less floor space than originally assumed. This remains more space for the green environment and the attractiveness of the entire school campus is increased.

The path of the new building

In the discussion about the construction or renovation of schools, it can be seen that the municipalities often face expensive decisions. The experiences from other projects, such as the renovation of the elementary school in Essenheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, where the renovation measures were cheaper than a new building, should remain in mind. Here, renovation costs were estimated at 1.6 million euros, while a new building was estimated with around eight million euros, as dabonline.de shown.

In the context of the renovation, it becomes clear that municipalities need more costly security and should strive for successful examples of renovations. While the construction prices are increasing and time pressure, transparent communication and consideration are essential components to implement projects during ongoing school operations.

In the case of the federal school cluster in Liezen, it is clear: The new building is not only an investment in the future of education, but also a step towards sustainable schools. With this measure, the Liezen educational location is further strengthened and the course set for future -oriented training.
