SCHULBAU-Berlin

The SCHULBAU Salon & Messe in Berlin stands as the preeminent gathering for experts driving the development and modernization of the city’s education infrastructure. Serving as a crucial forum for the largest investment project in the capital—the Berlin School Construction Offensive (BSO)—this event tackles the urgent need for new construction, extensive refurbishment, and innovative remodelling to secure sufficient, quality school places for Berlin’s rapidly expanding population. With investments soaring, the Senate has committed over 700 million euros per year to school construction and maintenance, underscoring the vital role this event plays in connecting supply with demand in the construction sector.

Visitors gain unparalleled access to information on key themes defining zukunftsfähiger Schulbau (future-proof school construction). The exhibition floor and dynamic congress program delve into the critical aspects of modern school building, including the planning and architecture of school, daycare, and campus facilities. Specialists showcase technologies for energy-efficient renovation, state-of-the-art air conditioning, ventilation systems, and sustainable facade solutions.

Emphasis is also placed on creating flexible and engaging learning spaces. Professionals can explore the newest trends in interior design, optimized furniture solutions, and concepts for flexible classrooms, such as Compartmentschulen, designed for contemporary teaching. Crucially, the event addresses the necessary digital transformation, covering digital infrastructure, media technology, and essential IT equipment.

Furthermore, SCHULBAU Berlin focuses on the economic and administrative success factors: efficient construction processes, viable funding models, and successful financing strategies. The accompanying program encourages a continuous, transdisciplinary dialogue among architects, planners, public administration, and pedagogical leaders—cooperation identified as the key condition for successful implementation of these large-scale projects. Held at the historic Loewe Saal Berlin, this is the definitive networking opportunity for anyone involved in Germany’s largest school building initiative.
