We have successfully completed the Muriel-Hurtis School Project in Paris, which encompasses ten classrooms. This project adds to our portfolio of innovative school designs using the new generation container model in France. Situated in Bobigny, a central city within the Seine-Saint-Denis region and just 9 km away from the heart of Paris, the newly realized Muriel-Hurtis Kindergarten and Primary School boasts ten classrooms.
The school, accommodating up to 187 students, commenced classes on Monday, April 26, 2021. The inauguration of this educational facility, a collaborative effort between Bobigny Municipality and Karmod, was led by Christine Fave, Vice President of the Municipality in charge of building initiatives.
At the opening event, students and parents gathered in the school's garden at 08:20, brimming with excitement as they beheld the new school building for the very first time. A particularly poignant aspect of this momentous occasion was that it marked the return to in-person education after the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic. Students, who had endured a prolonged period of separation from their friends, were eagerly anticipating this reunion.
The Muriel-Hurtis school building, designed in partnership with Karmod, stands as a vibrant testament to creativity. Its exterior, adorned with a captivating array of colors after the application of the new generation container model, drew admiration from students. Luca, one of the school's attendees, marveled at the school's aesthetic, describing it as "beautiful with all these captivating colors."
The core installation of the two-story container school was accomplished in an impressive 47 days. The Muriel-Hurtis school building project, conceived by Karmod France Office, utilized 132 container units crafted through a demountable system at Karmod's state-of-the-art facilities. Transported to France via road with a disassembled package system logistics, the assembly of the 1,900 m2 two-story container school commenced. A team of six specialists adept at container assembly undertook the primary installation within a 4,950 m2 area, concluding their work over a span of 47 working days.
Post-installation, meticulous attention was devoted to outfitting the container school in compliance with the rigorous standards set forth by the French Ministry of Education. External enhancements involved the application of supplementary composite coatings to the well-insulated sandwich panels, thereby elevating the building's aesthetics. After these enhancements, the exterior facade was imbued with an attractive palette of colors. This additional coating procedure significantly enhanced the school building's insulation capabilities.
Simultaneously, interior advancements were pursued, encompassing the installation of heating and ventilation systems, data cabling, doors, windows, and furniture. The comprehensive integration of the portable cabin model into the Muriel-Hurtis Kindergarten and Primary School was accomplished within a total of 95 working days, culminating in its readiness for educational operations.
The spatial configuration of the two-story Muriel-Hurtis school, encompassing ten classrooms catering to 187 students, is as follows: The ground floor features an expansive reception area upon entry. This level houses four classrooms, two recreational spaces, a fundamental skills activity room, a kindergarten class, the principal's office, and a health facility. Furthermore, a spacious 136 m2 dining hall, health intervention room, storage and technical rooms, laundry facilities, designated areas for custodial staff, heating chamber, restroom and shower facilities, as well as an elevator zone are incorporated.
Ascending to the first floor, the prefabricated school building presents six classrooms, a workshop activity space, a school library, and restroom and shower hygiene areas.
This container-based school is fittingly named in honor of Muriel Hurtis - Houairi, a celebrated icon in French athletics. Muriel Hurtis made her mark on the global stage in 2002, clinching gold medals at both the European Indoor Championships and the European Athletics Championships in the 200 meters. Her achievements continued in 2003 with a World Indoor Championship title and a bronze medal at the World Athletics Championships. Notably, she was a vital member of the gold medal-winning 4x100 meters relay team in the same year.
