A new modern Montessori school at the German Institute for the Blind is currently being built in Marburg. The building comprises four spacious levels, which will provide space for sustainable learning and teaching in the future.
A resource-saving construction method was deliberately used to implement the project. By using innovative Unidome void former technology, around 80 cubic meters of concrete could be saved. This targeted concrete displacement not only led to CO₂ savings of more than 16 tons, but also to a load reduction of 200 tons. The relieved building structure has a positive effect on the load-bearing capacity and overall statics of the reinforced concrete flat slabs.
The Unidome void former modules used act as lost formwork within the concrete slabs. They displace concrete in areas where it is not statically required and thus create a lightweight, sustainable and efficient flat slab. Unidome technology thus combines material efficiency, climate protection and innovative architecture — a decisive contribution to sustainable construction.
We would like to thank everyone involved in the project:
