An "ecosystem" for the new building façade
Short description
The Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB) is building a new facility for biodiversity research in Oldenburg. Implenia is constructing the louvre facades.
The project
The Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (Alfred Wegener Institute-AWI) is a research institute in Bremerhaven with over 1,000 employees*. The AWI currently intends to construct a new building for the Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity at the University of Oldenburg (HIFMB). The HIFMB was founded in 2017 and is an institutional cooperation between the AWI and the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg.
By 2024, a three-story building with nearly 2,000 square meters of floor space will be constructed. In addition to 85 office workplaces, the building will also offer around 650 square meters of laboratory space, creating the best conditions for marine biodiversity research. Implenia is constructing the louvre facades.
