The city of Hamm is set to enhance its educational facilities with significant investments in new buildings for schools. The Johannesschule and Erich-Kästner-Schule will each receive a new gymnasium, as part of a city investment of around 4.6 million euros for each school.

Both schools will benefit from multifunctional concepts, offering diverse possibilities for projects, events, and Open-Ganztag Schule (OGS) care. The new sports halls will feature integrated kitchens, making them versatile spaces that can cater to a variety of needs.

The sports halls will replace the existing ones on the respective school grounds, and their designs will be identical, tailored to the specific conditions of each school. Notably, the new buildings will provide maximum light infiltration in the auditorium and cafeteria due to a new, fully glazed outer wall.

In another development, the Kettelerschule will receive a new annex for the cafeteria and OGS care. This annex will be directly attached to the existing building, which houses the auditorium and administration wing. The construction of the annex is planned for 2026, with completion scheduled for the following year.

The city of Hamm is also investing in a new, light-filled OGS building, but the specific school that will receive this new facility is not explicitly named in the search results. However, the city has plans for a light-filled OGS building in Hamm, although the exact school has not been identified.

The city is investing a total of approximately 11.7 million euros in these projects. This includes the construction of the two sports halls, the light-flooded OGS building, and the annex for the cafeteria and OGS care.

The sports halls will be designed as single sports halls, with their roofs being greened and equipped with photovoltaic systems. The construction of the two sports halls will occur simultaneously, with the city expecting synergy effects in the construction process and financing.

Mrs. Laitko from Immobilienmanagement can be contacted at Gustav-Heinemann-Straße 105, 9065 Hamm, Germany, for further information about the project. The construction of the OGS annex is scheduled to begin in spring 2026, with completion planned for the start of the 2027/28 school year.

The municipal share for the OGS annex construction will be around 640,000 euros, with the cost for the OGS annex construction approximately 2.5 million euros. The city will receive an 85% subsidy for the eligible total expenditure, amounting to approximately 1.85 million euros.

The new OGS annex will have a greened roof like the existing auditorium building, offering a harmonious addition to the school's architecture. Both rooms can be used together or separately multifunctionally via a glass partition wall, offering great flexibility for OGS care.

These upgrades are part of the city's commitment to providing quality educational facilities for its students, fostering a conducive learning environment for future generations.
