Stadt Schneverdingen Tender

Contract notice: Conversion of the "old school" schneverdingen In the center of Schneverdingen is the "old school", a building erected in 1897 as the town~s primary school. The city library and some of the offerings of the district music school are currently housed here. The aim of the measure is to expand the top floor of the building in order to secure and strengthen the function of the city library as a central integration and educational facility. The offer is to be developed and expanded both in terms of area and quality. The city library has been certified as a "library with quality and seal" by the Lower Saxony Ministry for Science and Culture since 2011. The expansion is an example of the importance that a municipal library can have within a networked extracurricular educational, social and integration offer, even in a smaller community, using external funding. The expansion also creates the prerequisites for the popular tourist information and the Schneverdingen city marketing to be relocated to the "old school". These facilities are currently in close proximity, but in a hidden location. In this way, synergies in the use of the communal areas as well as closer cooperation and coordination of the offers of these facilities are sought. The newly established multi-purpose rooms will be used by the library and the tourist information office, but also by external groups, organizations and associations such as For example, you can use the Lüneburg Heath Nature Park, the Heidekreis Adult Education Center, the equal opportunities officer or the cultural association. Continuation of operations within the building is excluded during the renovation phase. For the construction phase, an approximately 1 1/2 year interim solution for the library is required. The funds required for this are provided separately from the city budget. The "Old School" "is spatially centrally located in the center of the village, directly opposite the town hall and the city fountain. To the rear is the" Rathauspassage "with shops and outdoor restaurants. Everyone can find them on Schulstrasse in front of the building, on the town hall forecourt and in the town hall passage The area is the heart of the annual heather blossom festival with around 40,000 guests as well as many other events such as "Music on Wednesday", vintage car exhibitions and the spring and autumn market. The public library is one of the municipality~s outstanding voluntary services. While elsewhere the offer of public libraries is increasingly restricted, the city of Schneverdingen would like to strengthen the quality of the facility as a central communication, education and integration focus within the city~s social and educational offerings, despite significantly below average tax revenue (approx. 15%). The Schneverdinger library is also used by many citizens of Neuenkirchen due to its proximity a
