Ybbs an der Donau Kindergarten expansion uses the latest in modern construction materials, with a Sylva™ kit of parts manufactured in the local Stora Enso Sawmill.

The offsite manufacturing of the cross-laminated timber (CLT) used to make the Sylva™ CLT Walls, Floors and Roofs was a key factor in the building's efficient and rapid installation. The entire project was completed perfectly on schedule in seven months.

Community

The EUR 2.8 million project represents an investment in both infrastructure and community services. The facility has been designed to support long-term childcare provision, offering spaces intended to provide a safe and supportive environment for five groups of children to learn and play.

The municipality of Ybbs actively participated in the implementation of the project through the provincial government's childcare directive. This alignment with governmental policies ensured that the project is beneficial at a local level and contributes to broader regional development goals.

Timber sourcing

Sourcing of the wood for this project followed PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certification requirements. PEFC certification includes standards related to forest management and supply chain traceability.

Planning and construction

The project was designed by amm zt-gmbh and built by Ing. Pöchhacker GmbH, with support from other regional partners. This collaboration combined local knowledge and technical expertise across the planning and construction phases.

Health and wellbeing

One of the key benefits of using wood in construction is its positive impact on indoor air quality. This focus on health and wellbeing is crucial, as it ensures that the kindergarten is not just a place for learning but also a space where children can thrive physically and mentally.
