ZUnück into the future of education: The Carlo-Schmid high school on Lutoner Strasse in Spandau is extensively renovated and expanded. This year the school celebrated its 50th birthday, and the planned renovations are intended to ensure that it will continue to meet the needs of the students in the future. The vision is clear: an increase in the number of students to around 900. The necessary foundation for this was laid on September 26th when the Spandau district and the Howoge housing association signed an important project agreement.

This agreement is the first step in a lengthy process that is intended to ensure that the school is modernized both spatially and functionally. The school building offensive in Berlin follows a strategy that relies on long -term planning and implementation. Before signing the agreement, numerous inventory analyzes and space requirements had to take place in order to understand the needs of the school community. These findings flowed into a needs program, which served as the basis for the further planning steps. "With the signing, the way for the next steps will be paved," said a representative of the district.

next steps and challenges

But the challenges are diverse. Jens Wadle von Howoge referred to the structural conditions that require special attention, especially the very deep structures that hinder the incidence of light in the building. In addition, interim rooms on the school premises must be provided during the construction work. It is important to find solutions that are both ecologically and economically justifiable. The headmistress Dr. Carola Brückner emphasized the importance of these measures and is happy about the progress that has already been made.

The next few months will be decisive: planning will continue and a building application should be submitted in the near future. If everything went according to plan, the building permit could be granted within the next two years, with the aim of starting work in the first quarter of 2027. Here, a total duration of up to four years will be preceded, which may make a complete completion of the renovation measures realistic by the end of 2031.

The Carlo Schmid secondary school is therefore an exemplary project within the Berlin school building offensive, which addresses both the structural and social requirements of a modern school. On this offensive, the aim is to equip schools in such a way that all students find the best possible learning environment. This project is not just a profit for education in Berlin, but an important sign of the appreciation of educational institutions in the city. The fact that an experienced partner was also won with the Howoge could pay off in the quality of the implementation.
