🏫 Project Update: Renovation of Nicolas Untersteller College 🛠️
After 50+ years, the Nicolas Untersteller College in Stiring-Wendel, France, is being transformed to meet today’s standards! While reducing its footprint to serve fewer students, only Building A’s concrete and steel structure remains, with sustainable extensions added. The project highlights energy efficiency, featuring innovative timber facades by Le Bras Frères and intelligent building systems. Modeled in RFEM 6, this renovation is a blend of heritage and eco-responsibility.
The renovation prioritizes sustainability: Building A’s original concrete and steel structure is retained, lowering CO₂ emissions by 25% compared to a complete rebuild. Timber facades designed by Le Bras Frères will enhance energy efficiency, along with modern tech like smart management systems, sheep's wool insulation, and solar power. This project balances heritage with eco-friendly innovation.
