With the second construction phase of the new office building (Allgemeine Verfügungszentrum), new research spaces will be created on the Campus Melaten for three institutions at RWTH Aachen with a total of seven professorships, including the professorships Biology II and Zoology. The new building constitutes the cornerstone of the existing building structure to the north and forms the boundary towards the cafeteria of the surrounding faculties. The newly designed forecourt connects the existing buildings of the institute with the new building structure, and invites you in to spend some time chatting with colleagues. All communal areas and seminar areas are deliberately built facing the forecourt.
Our building concept is structured to make it as flexible as possible. This ensures that it can react to any new challenges that may arise during the research process and enable development. The clear structure and modularity of the floor space creates a productive and creative working environment for the users.
