📋 Tender Overview
State Secretary for Finance Gisela Splett together with State Secretary for Agriculture Sabine Kurtz MdL opened the new replacement laboratory building for the analytics laboratory of the State Teaching and Research Institute for Viticulture and Fruit Growing in Weinsberg LVWO on Thursday .State Secretary for Finance Gisela Splett We are pushing ahead with the digitalization of the administration also when planning our buildings. The new laboratory building was planned completely digitally. The result is a laboratory with efficient building technology photovoltaics on the roof and a well-insulated facade in which flexible work processes and fast communication are now possible. The oldest German wine and fruit growing school sets standards for modern work. State Secretary for Agriculture Sabine Kurtz MdL The LVWO Weinsberg is a big name in Germany in fruit growing and viticulture in education and research. It is important to maintain this position. Something has to be done all the time for this. We live in times of rapid change. Major challenges in fruit growing and viticulture but also in agriculture are the intensive structural change the management of market crises and climate change combined with the emergence of new pests and diseases. But all of these are also opportunities for Weinsberg as a location for education and research. One of the secrets of the LVWO Weinsbergs success in the last 150 years has been to always recognize the signs of the times early and to make appropriate changes in the right direction. This new building is such an important step. The new laboratory building was planned using the modern Building Information Modeling BIM working method. With BIM a three-dimensional digital building model is created across disciplines. This increases the quality of planning and transparency. Cost and deadline risks in the execution phase can also be minimized through advanced digital testing processes on the building model. The state governments digitization strategy also focuses on BIM. This method will play a significantly larger role in future construction projects in the state.The state has invested around 6.9 million euros in the new laboratory building. The new building was carried out by the Heilbronn Office of the Baden-Wrttemberg State Office of Fortune and Construction and constructed using a reinforced concrete frame construction with a facade made of brick walls and large connected facade openings as aluminum windows. Flat ceilings made of reinforced concrete enable flexible floor plans. The energy-efficient building has an optimally insulated facade and is equipped with ventilation systems with heat recovery and a photovoltaic system with a nominal output of almost 15 kilowatts peak for power supply.
