Functional modular buildings for everyday school life

Four schools in Zurich received new ZM10 school rooms in 2019. A total of 110 timber modules were assembled into two-storey and three-storey school pavilions. All of the new modular school buildings have optimal building services engineering and an extra-large kitchen was installed in one location.

Blumer Lehmann has been building temporary school buildings in timber modular construction for the City of Zurich for 20 years. For the four current school buildings, we built the robust ZM10 model refined by ‘Bauart-Architekten’ in line with the Minergie Eco standard. Thanks to the high degree of prefabrication in our factory, the structures are quickly assembled on site and schedules and costs can be precisely calculated. In Zurich, our pavilions are generally used for 10-15 years on the same site before being redeployed at another location.
