Children and Youth Centre Bergl "WOODZ"

That is new for a municipal project like this: The WOODZ children's and youth centre in Schweinfurt's Bergl district is largely made of wood. Between June 2020 and June 2021, the design by the architectural firm Brück/Jordan from Würzburg was put into practice, with a special focus on sustainability and energy saving. The energy standard of the building is around 60 percent below the legally required value, thanks to LED technology, extensively greened flat roofs, insulation in passive house standard, district heating supply and photovoltaic system. The name of the new children's and youth recreation centre WOODZ is a combination of wood and "Wutz" (pig from the legends surrounding the city's history). The facility with 650 m² of floor space offers children and youths the opportunity for sporting and creative leisure activities under pedagogical guidance as well as for cultivating social contacts.

The daily routine in such a facility places high demands on the interior design, especially on the flooring. It has to be robust, easy to clean and visually appealing. Since the focus of this project was on sustainability, it was also a prerequisite that the flooring also fulfil this criterion. For this reason, Marmoleum from Forbo Flooring won the race - a hard-wearing and climate-neutral linoleum floor covering. The Real design with classic marbling in the dark bistre colour scheme was chosen, also because of its dirt-repellent appearance. The Topshield Pro surface finish ensures easy cleaning and a perfect appearance in the long term.
