📋 Tender Overview
Work begins on the new building for the Heidelberg University of Education at the Neuenheimer Feld site.

We are thus continuing the states restructuring offensive said Finance Minister Edith Sitzmann . The university is currently housed in several buildings at different locations in Heidelberg. The aim of the overall renovation is to bring the University of Education together at just two locations. The replacement building will create the necessary alternative areas for the laboratories and teaching rooms for the natural sciences. In this way the existing buildings can be cleared and renovated step by step. The state is investing around 20 million euros in the replacement building. The start of the urgently needed overall renovation of the building complex is of great importance for the University of Education. The modern laboratories for scientific and technical subjects are an important signal for further development at the Heidelberg location said Minister of Science Theresia Bauer .The five-story replacement building continues the comb-like structure of the existing building from the 1970s. For example the subjects of physics chemistry biology everyday culture and health as well as technology are housed on around 2500 square meters.An exemplary energy standard is being implemented in the replacement building for the Heidelberg University of Education. This is achieved through a very well insulated building envelope and energy-efficient system technology. The low heat demand is covered by the local heating network in conjunction with combined heat and power. The cold which is particularly needed in the laboratories is provided in an environmentally friendly manner through evaporative cooling. With the photovoltaic system on the roof around 25000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year will be generated in a climate-friendly manner which is primarily used in the building.The first preparatory work is now beginning. Construction should be completed in the first half of 2023. The project is managed by the Mannheim and Heidelberg Office of the Baden-Wrttemberg State Office for Property and Construction .
