Ano­ther important edu­ca­tion pro­ject for the city of Bre­men is picking up speed: On Octo­ber 13, 2025, the con­tracts for the new Georg Droste School for blind and visually impai­red child­ren and the Regio­nal Coun­sel­ling and Sup­port Cen­ter (ReBUZ) East were signed in the pre­sence of Finance Sena­tor Björn Fecker.

As part of a public-pri­vate part­ner­ship (PPP), August Rei­ners Bau­un­ter­neh­mung GmbH will imple­ment the con­s­truc­tion pro­ject as the total con­trac­tor. Immo­bi­lien Bre­men is respon­si­ble for pro­ject management. 

The new buil­ding is being con­s­truc­ted on the 16,000 square meter site of the for­mer spe­cial school on Bar­do­wick­straße in Bre­men’s Vahr dis­trict. A gross floor area of around 7,800 square meters is plan­ned, which will be spe­ci­ally tail­o­red to the spe­cial needs of blind and visually impai­red pupils. 33.5 mil­lion euros have been ear­marked for the pro­ject, with com­ple­tion sche­du­led for the 2028/29 school year. 

Cli­mate pro­tec­tion also plays an important role: the buil­ding will be equip­ped with a green roof and a pho­to­vol­taic system.

Archi­tec­ture with mea­ning and structure

The plan­ned school buil­ding takes into account the spe­ci­fic pedago­gi­cal requi­re­ments and dif­fe­ren­tia­ted usage concepts:

• Rooms with a clear struc­ture and ori­en­ta­tion make navi­ga­tion easier for blind and visually impai­red pupils.
• Strong con­trasts and cus­tom-fit fur­ni­ture pro­mote a safe and plea­sant lear­ning environment.
• For the tea­ching staff, mee­ting rooms, retre­ats for con­cen­tra­ted work and mee­ting rooms for dis­cus­sions with par­ents are being created.
• New dia­gno­stic and con­sul­ta­tion rooms of dif­fe­rent sizes and atmo­sphe­res are being crea­ted in the ReBUZ Ost area. 

This new buil­ding is a place that com­bi­nes func­tional archi­tec­ture, inclu­sion and sus­taina­bi­lity — a pro­ject that we at August Rei­ners are very com­mit­ted to and proud to realize.
