Hofacker school complex to be renovated during the holidays
Construction work on the Hofacker school complex began on 17 July. The first step will be to install a handicapped-accessible lift and wheelchair-accessible toilets. All construction work is to be carried out during the school 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.
