Erweiterungsbau E-Mobilität

The Upper School Center for automotive engineering at Gierkeplatz in Berlin-Charlottenburg is being given an additional building for the field of el-mobility. Around 2,000 trainees learn the profession of motor vehicle or two-wheel mechatronics technician on the entire campus. A particular quality aspect of the new extension is the short learning paths: the theoretical knowledge acquired in the classrooms can be applied to vehicle models in the four workshop areas directly adjacent. Further demonstration models are available in the basement. Long walks across the school corridors in the existing building will be a thing of the past.

The extension, designed by Berlin architects Numrich Albrecht Klumpp, has four storeys plus a basement. Four vehicle workshop areas and four classrooms on the ground floor, which will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology, are planned for specialised practical lessons. Changing rooms and washrooms are located on the first floor, while the approx. 300 square metre multifunctional room is on the second floor. This can be used in a variety of ways: for meetings, training sessions, conferences or sports.

ZWP Ingenieur-AG is responsible for the technical building services. The media connection is made via the existing building. District heating is provided from a new house connection. The hot water supply is decentralised. A district heating transfer station is provided to transfer the district heating to the static heating systems (plate heat exchangers). Two centralised ventilation systems will be installed for the classrooms and the multifunctional hall as well as for all sanitary and ancillary rooms.

The building automation system and the electrical connection (including the power supply for the lighting and emergency lighting of the new building) to the existing transformer station are established via the existing building. Furthermore, the extension is equipped with a building alarm system and an amok and burglar alarm system. In order to enable modern digital teaching, there is comprehensive WLAN coverage - including in the outdoor areas. All performance measurement and test stations display the results and energy flows on screens in the workshop.

The conference room was equipped with a video wall and sound technology. A passenger lift, a car lift and a movable car platform are further important components for the use of the basement, where the training vehicles are housed.

The new building is also future-proof in terms of energy efficiency. An underground rainwater retention system with storage tanks was provided in the outdoor area. A photovoltaic system with battery and charging station as well as a wind turbine were installed on the accessible roof. Important for the trainees: the energy flow is visualised directly on a screen.
