  • Modular school pavilions as a temporary solution to secure school operations in Dietikon

    Modular school pavilions as a temporary solution to secure school operations in Dietikon

    The town of Dietikon is renovating the Wolfsmatt school complex. Three new school pavilions have been built on the city-owned site on Vogelauweg in order to be able to continue teaching. This provides an additional 27 classrooms. Aare Limmat Elektro AG was commissioned with the planning and execution of the complete electrical installations. The entire electrical installation was newly installed and corresponds to the current state of the art, according to a press release from the company based in Baden and Olten SO.

    The three school buildings were built entirely in modular construction and prefabricated. The temporary buildings will serve as a fully usable transitional solution during the renovation of the Wolfsmatt school complex, the statement continues.

    Around 500 children attend kindergarten and elementary school in the Wolfsmatt school unit, according to the Dietikon school. The school unit comprises 21 regular classes. Eight kindergartens are located in the residential areas around the school building. Daycare facilities with lunch are offered on the school grounds.

    Around 3,000 pupils attend public school in Dietikon, from kindergarten to secondary level. There are a total of six school units in the town.

    Hofacker school complex to be renovated during the holidays

    The beginning of the summer holidays also marks the start of construction work at the Hofacker school complex. Immediately after the weekend at the start of the holidays, “the workmen drove up with lots of building materials” on Monday, 17 July, the Schlieren city administration announced in a press release. They invited all those involved in the project and the workmen to a fortifying breakfast. On this occasion, the city’s head of real estate, Albert Schweizer, thanked all those involved for their commitment and wished the construction work every success, according to the statement.

    Until 2025, various renovations, maintenance and works for the implementation of building regulations are to be carried out at the school complex. The first step will be to install a handicapped-accessible lift, wheelchair-accessible toilets and access ramps to the gymnasium and the pavilions. In addition, the window fronts in the entrance area and in the singing hall are to be renewed, the basic pipes renovated and the locking system replaced.

    These and other general repair and maintenance work will be carried out mainly during the holiday periods so that normal school operations can be maintained, explains the city administration. Since the facility is a cultural-historical building, the renovations were coordinated with the cantonal monument preservation office.

  • City of Dietikon approves credit of 83 million Swiss francs for school renovations

    City of Dietikon approves credit of 83 million Swiss francs for school renovations

    At its meeting on 4 May, Dietikon ‘s parliament approved a construction loan of CHF 83,372,746 for the Wolfsmatt school building. This means that the renovation and expansion of the aging building can begin next year, according to a media release. The prerequisite is that the voters of Dietikon also approve the project in September.

    The building was constructed in 1962 as a typical pavilion school of the 1950s and 1960s and is now in serious need of renovation. The listed building neither meets the legal requirements nor the demands of modern teaching or the increased number of pupils. Therefore, it is to be renovated and extended by two primary classes, group, after-school and multi-purpose rooms as well as a gymnasium. The existing buildings are to be ready for occupancy in 2028.

    The corresponding plans were drawn up by a general planning team under the leadership of the Zurich architectural firm Bünzli Courvoisier. They won the city’s project competition four years ago from a total of 59 submissions. The winning project, called Im Grünen, “occupies a top position among the competition entries from both an economic and an ecological point of view,” according to a media release. The new buildings will be certified according to the Minergie-ECO standard. In terms of construction costs, it was among the most favourable.

    Im Grünen retains the basic idea of a pavilion school. The cohesive overall architectural effect remains. Extension buildings complement the existing ensemble in a southerly direction. Parallel to the Vogelaustrasse, the new buildings will form a new second entrance to the school complex. The limited existing open space will be preserved.

    Jaisli-Xamax is working on the Vechigen school complex

    The electrical company Jaisli-Xamax from Dietikon carries out all electrical installations for the overall renovation and expansion of the Stämpbach school complex in Vechigen. According to a report in the employee newspaper Brilli's News , the work will be carried out during the three implementation phases while the school is still running. “One of the challenges was to carry out the work while the school was still in operation,” the construction fitter Adrian Thürig is quoted as saying. Nevertheless, it was possible to "produce a clean performance".

    The work will be carried out in three stages. According to Jaisli-Xamax, the new construction of the kindergarten, the day school, the special wing and the intermediate wing as well as the renovation of the two gyms were realized in the first construction phase. The renovation of the east class wing and the expansion of the group rooms were implemented in the second construction phase. The work on the third construction phase is still ongoing. The West class wing will be renovated.

    According to project manager Luciano Matturro from Jaisli-Xamax, the cooperation with everyone involved in the construction and with the school went smoothly. Matturro was quoted as saying that he was proud that the on-site team did its job well while the school was in operation. Matturro: “We are now on the final spurt to successfully complete the third construction phase.” Two apprentices from Jaisli-Xamax also worked on the project in the canton of Bern.
