Installation of modular timber daycare centre started

The erection of the prefabricated modules for the new daycare centre in the Rüdersdorf district begins today, Monday. The daycare centre, which is being built entirely in modular timber construction, is being erected on the 3,613 square metre plot at Am Friedhof 8. The daycare centre was designed as a four-group facility that will look after around 60 children both under the age of three (U3) and over the age of three (Ü3). The premises include a kitchen, five children's sanitary rooms, six group rooms for U3 and Ü3 children including adjoining rooms, a development and snooze room, an exercise room and further administration and recreation rooms for the staff.

Together with the municipality of Rüdersdorf near Berlin, the modular construction start-up MOD21 invites you to take a tour of the modular construction of the day-care centre.

to see the building and its modular design for yourself. Media representatives are requested to make an appointment in advance. 

In addition to Mayor Sabine Löser and the specialist departments, Paul Scheffer, Project Manager at MOD21, and Markus Moser, Sales Manager East at MOD21, will be available for discussions on site.

Construction work for the daycare centre began at the manufacturer in February 2024 and is expected to be completed in August 2024. Pre-production of the 31 modules at the factory took just four weeks. They will then be assembled on site in four days. Further installation work is expected to take eleven weeks. The construction is expected to save 103% per cent of CO2 emissions compared to conventional construction methods. A special feature of the daycare centre is the modular structure of the building, which has a pitched roof and two hipped roofs instead of a conventional flat roof.
