Volksschule Kirberg-Thering: Refurbishment is coming to an end

Kirchberg-Thening. After a long construction period, the renovation of the elementary school is approaching its end. While the interior work was completed in good time at the beginning of school, there are still a few details outdoors.

The renovation work on the building was not an easy undertaking. Mayor Breitenauer explains that three construction stages had to be harmonized: The original school building is now 100 years old, an extension was added in the late 1960s, and an area for kindergarten was added in the early 2000s. Despite these structural challenges, it was possible to implement a modern pedagogical concept.

modernization and digital equipment

One of the highlights of the renovation are the spacious classrooms that are up to 78 square meters in size. This generosity offers significant advantages, especially in digital lessons. "We are now fully digitally equipped, but we also have the conventional boards for the traditional teaching methods," says Mayor Breitenauer about the best possible combination.

Another important aspect of the renovation is the focus on sustainability. A photovoltaic system was installed on the guilt roof, which belongs to the so -called renewable energy. This initiative not only supports the environment, but also independence from conventional energy sources. In addition, Breitenauer emphasizes the importance of the new school kitchen, which has already prepared 23,000 portions for the students and the place last year.

outlook for the next steps

The next step as part of the renovation is the completion of the school and after-school garden. "We have created lists with teachers and students in which their wishes are listed. Now we are only waiting for the contract so that we can start designing the garden," explains Breitenauer. This garden is to be completed in the coming spring.

Overall, the costs of the project amount to 4.5 million euros. This investment shows the endeavor of the municipality to make the educational institution sustainable. Here is not only invested in the infrastructure, but also in the future of the students and thus into the entire community.
