Three new schools in the Ebersberg district: costs halved, future secured!
Important new schools are being built in the Ebersberg district, which will not only change the educational landscape in the long term, but will also be implemented in a much more cost-conscious manner. In total, the administration is planning three new schools by 2030, including the expansion of the high school in Kirchseeon, a new high school in Poing and a vocational school in Grafing-Bahnhof. According to Merkur, the cost forecast should be reduced from the original 240 million euros to around 120 million euros. District Administrator Robert Niedergesäß (CSU) highlights the savings of over 100 million euros for taxpayers.
The expansion of the high school in Kirchseeon requires an investment of 15.5 million euros and is scheduled to be completed by 2026. State subsidies of 6.2 million euros are planned for this. The construction is particularly environmentally friendly and made of solid wood in order to create an appealing and sustainable learning situation. In addition, the space will be reduced by a third, cellars will not be included and the number of parking spaces will also be reduced.
New schools in detail
The vocational school in Grafing-Bahnhof is expected to cost 46 million euros, and the first students are expected to start classes there in 2029. The high school in Poing, whose construction costs are estimated at 55 million euros, will open in 2030 and will have space for 700 instead of the originally planned 1,000 students. It is planned for both new buildings to initially be built without a gym and cafeteria.
Financial manager Brigitte Keller is optimistic about financing: She expects subsidies of 45 percent for the Grafinger vocational school and 30 percent for the high school in Poing. The repayment of loans for the two schools is to be spread over a period of 40 years. There is also discussion about a private sector partnership model to finance the vocational school.
The challenges in school construction
A look at the entire educational infrastructure shows that the need for renovation and new construction is significant. According to a PwC study, the net initial yields for very good existing properties are increasing nationwide by between 4.5 and 5.5 percent. This makes investments in educational institutions particularly attractive.
The study highlights that many school buildings are outdated and urgently need to be renovated or rebuilt, which poses great difficulties in many municipalities, which are often overwhelmed in terms of staff and finances. Therefore, private sector partners are increasingly being sought to ease the pressure on the construction of educational institutions.
The developments surrounding school construction in the Ebersberg district are not only important for the communities affected, but also reflect a trend that can be observed in many parts of Germany. Together with the Guidelines for School Buildings of the Montag Foundation for Youth and Society and other organizations, we are focusing on high-quality, innovative school building projects that are intended to sustainably improve the learning landscape in Germany.
