Daycare and Kindergarten Halden, New Building Oberhaldenstrasse 15, St.Gallen

The Halden school complex was planned and constructed from 1966 to 1968 by architects Glaus and Stadlin, opened in 1969, and expanded in 1974 with a third building. Since the renovation in 2002, the three buildings have been referred to as « green house », « blue house », and « red house » based on their new facade colours. Currently, 18 classes are taught at Halden primary school. Daycare is housed in one of the school buildings. A new building is to meet the spatial requirements for a needs-based municipal daycare offering and ensure efficient school operations. The external space is diverse and carefully structured. Accordingly, a new volume with external spaces for daycare must be integrated into the existing external space in a similarly careful and economical manner. The main usable floor area of the new building to be designed thus comprises 13 room units of 75 m2 each. In addition to this are ancillary usable areas and functional areas. The new building will be used primarily by daycare and a kindergarten. The rooms of the future daycare must be planned in such a way that they are also suitable for school teaching needs. The design competition is announced in an open, anonymous, single-stage procedure, in which societal aspects, cost-effectiveness, and ecological sustainability are considered as criteria. The competition aims to evaluate an architectural team capable of realizing an innovative and sustainable project with high building and ecological quality. Collaboration with other specialists, for example from the fields of landscape architecture, building physics, structural engineering, ecology, etc., is recommended but voluntary.
