Groundbreaking ceremony for the inclusive Franziskus children's home in Abensberg
After intensive preparations, the starting signal has now been given: The construction of the inclusive Franziskus children's home of the Katholische Jugendfürsorge (KJF) Regensburg on the grounds of the Berufsbildungswerk St. Franziskus in Abensberg has officially begun with a ground-breaking ceremony. Gammel Engineering is proud to be the planning partner responsible for the technical building equipment - in particular the heating, ventilation and sanitary planning - and to contribute to the success of the 3.6 million euro construction project with its expertise.
The new children's home will create 62 childcare places for children with and without special needs - a place where inclusion is lived from the very beginning. Modern, spacious facilities will offer room for development, encounters and individual support. Completion is planned for August 2027.
The importance of the project for the educational campus and the region was emphasized with a blessing from Canon Michael Dreßel and words of welcome from KJF Director Michael Eibl, Overall Director Frank Baumgartner, representatives of the Town of Abensberg and the Kelheim district. The Franziskus children's house is regarded as a lighthouse project of inclusion in practice and an important contribution to early childhood education.
Together with all those involved, we at Gammel Engineering are delighted that a place is being created here where diversity, participation and child development are a matter of course - and where every child is welcome.
