Roof waterproofing of a primary school with RESITRIX® EPDM sealing membranes
Just in time for the new school year, the new building of the local primary school in Sulingen was completed. To ensure that the 2,500-square-meter flat roof area of the complex could be properly waterproofed, even during potential freezing temperatures in the execution period, the RESITRIX® SK W Full Bond membrane was used. For optimal implementation, the 35-person team from the contracting company, Gerbes Dächer, was thoroughly trained by CARLISLE® experts from sales and application technology in advance, becoming familiar with the material and processing properties of the product.
In the summer of 2013, Sulingen Primary School decided to relocate the facility, along with a new school kindergarten, to the site of the former secondary school at Deepenpool. To appropriately expand the existing building from the 1990s and make it suitable for its new function, the architectural firm Landwehr and Partner, which was commissioned with the project planning, developed a two-story, star-shaped flat-roof building when viewed from above. Each of the five wings, arranged like cog teeth, houses four classrooms. The connection to the 1990s building, which was repurposed for administrative purposes, is made via a two-story break hall, which also integrates a cafeteria and library. Additionally, a single-story technical building is situated in front of this area.
The spatial concept of the primary school is complemented by the existing sports hall and a circular courtyard located at the core of the star-shaped classroom building. This courtyard is accessed via the corridors and serves as an open space for the school kindergarten. Another important aspect was the facade design of the new building. It was essential that the school building blends harmoniously with the local architecture. To achieve this, the large-format sand-lime stone walls were deliberately clad with light-colored brick, creating a connection to the numerous brick buildings in the neighborhood.
