The secondary school center Burghalde Baden (SBB) is a school center in the city of Baden in the Swiss canton of Aargau . The complex is located in the historic park area of Villa Burghalde, with individual buildings being listed . Until 2018 it comprised a district school , a vocational school and the music school of the Baden region . The school center will be expanded considerably by 2021 and turned into a secondary school center.

School operation

The Burghalde Baden secondary school center is the central secondary school with grades 7 to 9 of lower secondary level for the Baden school district. The school is run by the city of Baden. In the 2018/2019 school year, 680 pupils will be taught by 55 teachers. Due to renovation work, lessons are currently taking place in a temporary facility on the Ländli.

history

At the community assembly on January 28, 1909, the construction of a third schoolhouse in the community of Baden was decided. This was followed in 1910 by an ideas competition among a number of architects in which a decision was made from among 13 possible building sites. The financing should take place via a bond. The controversies over funding and location dragged on for several years. It was not until January 1917 that the community decided on a location on Liebenfells and awarded the contract to carry out the competition design by architects Dorer u. Löpfe in the community assembly on May 3, 1918. After the implementation plans were available in 1920, the start of construction was postponed to a financially more favorable time. Starting in November 1924, discussions were held again on alternative locations and the question of whether a community or district school building should be built. After Mrs. Baumann-Stockar had offered the community the 29,500 square meter site of a factory owner's villa built in 1905 on the Burghalde for CHF 400,000 at a reasonable price, it was decided on July 2, 1926 at the community assembly to acquire it and also approved CHF 15,000 for a new design competition. In addition to low construction costs, the requirement was to integrate the buildings tactfully into the site as well as the existing Villa Burghalde in a practical way and with as few changes as possible .

The designs were judged by the jury in May 1927 and none of the designs were accepted. Instead, a heated discussion broke out about modern architecture, at the end of which the school building commission recommended a revision of the design in the New Building style by architect Otto Dorer from Baden. On September 2, 1927, the local council decided to implement it and made the necessary financial resources available. Construction work started in December. The new district school was occupied on February 17, 1930. The construction costs amounted to 2,049,500 francs, of which the state contributed 210,160 francs.

In 1950, an additional school building with a cafeteria for the municipal vocational school was built on the grounds of the Burghalde district school.

In a report from 1965, the Education Directorate stated that an expansion of the Baden district school was essential. Thereupon, on June 29, 1966, the municipal assembly approved the implementation of a competition for an extension with a gym, from which Baden architects H. Hug and F. Joss emerged as winners. On October 1, 1968, the funds necessary for its realization were approved and construction began in April 1969. It was put into operation at the beginning of school in 1970. An initially planned training swimming pool had to be postponed according to cantonal instructions for economic reasons. After a cost-neutral solution for a necessary building right on the neighboring property of the Hotel Hochhaus Linde AG had been found, the municipal assembly decided on December 16, 1971 to build the swimming pool, which was also increased by a hall for apprentice gymnastics. The construction work for the second construction phase lasted from 1972 to autumn 1974. The total costs for all extensions amounted to around 7.7 million francs.

A further expansion of the district school on the back followed in 1986 according to plans by architects Egli and Rohr from Baden, who won the corresponding competition in 1984. On January 1, 1999, the city vocational school merged with the ABB factory school to form the BBB vocational school. At the Burghalde location, hairdressers, civil engineers and apprentices from the automotive and hospitality industries continued to receive instruction.

On February 28, 2011, the Baden City Council decided to concentrate the secondary level 1 with Real, Secondary and District School on the Burghalden area. At around the same time, it was decided to build a new school building to merge the two vocational school buildings on a vacant ABB site. With the cantonal reform project strengthening the elementary school , which was adopted by the electorate in March 2012, a uniform nationwide changeover to six years of primary and three years of upper school and day structures was required. The increasing number of pupils, new forms of teaching, team work by teachers, integrative training and school social work required a restructuring of the room infrastructure. As a result, the Burghalde school complex was to be expanded and the entire area redesigned. For this purpose, after approval, an architectural competition among 22 participants was carried out from October 2013, from which the Zurich office Masswerk emerged as the winner. The draft envisaged the construction of two new school buildings, a connecting building, the renovation of the district school building and the integration of the pavilion, coach house and coach house of Villa Burghalde. The prize money was CHF 220,000. On October 16, 2014, the residents' council approved a project loan of CHF 6.85 million for the Burghalde secondary school. As of the 2014/15 school year, the Baden secondary school district comprised the communities of Baden, Birmenstorf , Ehrendingen and Ennetbaden . In the course of further planning, it was decided to accommodate the students in mobile buildings during the three-year construction period. The Ländliwiese was chosen as the location . For this purpose, on August 30, 2016, the residents' council also approved a project planning and construction loan of CHF 6.26 million.

The construction loan of CHF 108.5 million required for the expansion and renovation of the Burghalde. The Baden residents' council finally approved it in August 2017. By the summer of 2018, 680 upper school students attended the district school, which were housed in the temporary makeshift structures built in 2018 at the Ländliwiese site for the construction work from the 2018/2019 school year . With the groundbreaking on September 24, 2018, the demolition and earthworks began.

architecture

Villa Burghalde

The factory owner's villa at Burghaldenstrasse 8 was built from 1904 to 1905 for Conrad Baumann, a co-founder of Brown, Boveri & Cie. , built. It is three - story with a neo-baroque mansard hipped roof and a rustic base and was built into the vineyards that still existed at the time. A ground terrace formed by long and high retaining walls with a corner pavilion and staircases serves as a base. The plans came from the Karlsruhe architects Robert Curjel & Karl Moser and combine motifs from Art Nouveau with abstract historical structures. Arthur Betschon planned the outbuildings. The Zurich garden architect Evariste Mertens was responsible for the design of the spacious park . The interior in particular was praised in specialist magazines at that time. The villa and some of the outbuildings were used as a school from 1930 and are now in their original state under monument protection. A wooden gardener's house was used in the nursery of the Kursaal. The garden is also protected, if it still exists.

District school building (Burghalde 1)

The complex of the Baden district school at Burghaldenstrasse 4 is a three-part structure with a flat hipped roof and sand-colored scratch plaster in the style of New Building. It was built between 1926 and 1930 and is clearly visible on the southern slope of the Burghalde in the former park area of ​​the Villa Burghalde . A five-story tower is flanked by the gymnasium, which is projected to the south, and the three-story school wing with 21 axes. The plans come from the Baden architect Otto Dorer. The planning with several location decisions and architectural competitions lasted over 20 years. The building complex was the first modern building in Baden and is a listed building as an important example of new building in the canton of Aargau. The entrance area, the open staircase and the singing hall have been preserved in their original form and are of high architectural value.

Vocational school (Burghalde 2)

The building of the municipal vocational school in Baden was completed in 1950. The three-story flat-roof building had a cafeteria (oasis) with a roof terrace on the upper floor. The building was demolished as part of the secondary school center project in 2018.

Extension buildings (Burghalde 3)

The school complex underwent two major expansions. Between 1969 and 1974 (competition 1968), the southern, three-story extension with gyms, swimming pool and other classrooms was built according to plans by Hug and Joss, Baden. This extension docks to the main building with a massive concrete roof, but had a negative effect on the overall appearance of the protected facility. This extension was demolished as part of the secondary school center project in 2018.

In the rear extension from 1986 (project from 1984), the architects Egli and Rohr from Baden were more sensitive to the existing substance. Although they intervened more strongly in the existing structure, according to the monument authority, their project could be seen as a successful example of further building.

Secondary school center

To create space for the new school building, the old Burghalde 2 schoolhouse and the former southern extension to Burghalde 1 were demolished. The two new, carefully proportioned school buildings with classrooms will occupy the western and eastern edges of the property. In the new Burghalde 3 technical school building, the creative subjects of artistic design, textiles and crafts, as well as natural sciences and housekeeping are housed on each floor.  

The two-storey hall with cafeteria, auditorium, media library and extracurricular support will be located along a large break and sports field. In addition to catering for 875 people with 2.5-fold occupancy, it is used for exhibitions, for parents' and information evenings, but above all as a central meeting place. This is where the idea of ​​a “school under one roof” that the architects at Masswerk Architekten AG had in mind becomes visible.
