OUR SERVICESConsultancy on green facades and irrigation, Project Phase 5

The new Weißensee Campus is being built in the Munich district of Obergiesing-Fasangarten; the project comprises the construction of a new primary school with a triple-purpose sports hall and an underground parking garage, as well as two new childcare centers. The primary school consists of two three-story main buildings constructed using a hybrid timber structure, linked at ground floor level by a break hall providing access to the playground. The childcare centres also comprise two separate buildings, linked by a shared kitchen wing. The buildings are to be partially clad with climbing plants, using ground-level planting beds as supports. To this end, CityArc provided its expertise in the field of green facades as part of an accompanying consultancy service. The focus was on selecting suitable trellises for the primary facade structure and the ground-level greening, carrying out load assessments, and providing a technical evaluation of the irrigation plan.
