Modular timber construction ‘Bâtiment E’ – a large canteen and more classrooms

As general contractor, Blumer Lehmann carried out the modular construction using timber modules made in our own production facility in Gossau. The extension for the École Internationale Mondorf-les-Bains school challenged the Blumer Lehmann project team in different ways.

As the first public building headed by our Luxembourg office, the modular timber construction for the École Internationale Mondorf-les-Bains first had to be analysed as the schedule for the planning, production and erection of the timber modules was very ambitious.

The two-storey modular timber structure ‘Bâtiment E’ has a floor area of 2,400 m2 and a lift, and was built of 84 prefabricated timber modules. The ground floor of the modular school structure houses a large industrial kitchen with a counter and a dining hall for around 1,000 pupils aged 6 to 18. Classrooms, meeting rooms, a teaching kitchen, art room, music hall and drama rooms are on the upper floor of ‘Bâtiment E’. The international school in Mondorf-les-Bains took up residence in the modular timber construction on time, ready for school to restart after the 2021 summer holidays.
