Interim solution for Kleinhüningen primary school during the renovation phase
The Kleinhüningen primary school is about to undergo extensive refurbishment, which will require the school to temporarily relocate to the Klybeck site. The choice fell on a plot of land between Altrheinweg and Klybeckstrasse, which offers optimal conditions in terms of proximity, accessibility and safety.
As part of its commitment to a modern and safe educational infrastructure, the Kleinhüningen primary school is undergoing a fundamental refurbishment. The necessary construction work includes the modernisation of the building services, fire protection measures, seismic retrofitting and the renovation of the facades and interiors. In order to maintain school operations for the duration of the renovation work, the school is temporarily relocating to a suitable plot on the Klybeck site.
After a comprehensive review of various options and taking into account feedback from the community, the canton decided in favour of the plot at Altrheinweg 3. In addition to the required proximity to the existing school, the selected plot offers good accessibility and a safe environment for pupils. The temporary school buildings that will be erected on the site will create an attractive learning environment without encroaching on existing green spaces.
Parents and neighbours were informed in detail about the planned measures and the temporary site at an information event. The renovation work is scheduled for summer 2025 and should be completed by summer 2027. During this time, Kleinhüningen primary school will move into its temporary building on Altrheinweg, which not only impresses with its traffic-calmed location, but also with its neighbouring tree-lined playground.
This project not only represents a solution to the current challenge, but is also an example of the adaptability and innovative spirit in the field of educational infrastructure. It demonstrates how thoughtful planning and community involvement can create temporary educational spaces that meet the needs of students while paving the way for an improved permanent school environment.
