In Switzerland, we completed a qualitatively, architecturally beautiful project for the secondary school students in the municipality of Horw (Canton of Lucerne).
We used our String 2 EI30-EI60 system and door elements with special solutions. Closed String 2 EI30-EI60 elements provide privacy in the classrooms, while light entry and transparency are ensured by the glazed elements. The elements are clad with metal panels, making them magnetic and allowing teachers and students to attach their work with magnets. The door leaves are equipped with multiple locks and panic locks and are used as closed or glazed door elements EI30-EI60, depending on the room.
Challenges: combination of fire protection and safety requirements
The challenges in this project are the architectural aspects combined with the fire protection and safety requirements that must be ensured in a school. We have optimally implemented fire protection closures with transitions to other building components with individual approvals and custom solutions. Thanks to Maars’ expertise and extensive experience with tailored solutions, we were able to meet the specific requirements of the client and the cantonal authorities.
Collaboration
In collaboration with the cantonal fire protection authority, fire protection experts, the building insurance, and the architect, we created a fantastic and wonderful educational building for young people.
We, the Maars team, are proud of this project and look forward to taking on more such challenging projects in the future.
Many thanks to the client for the trust and the good cooperation.
