The Bremen Haslob Kruse + Partner Architects BDA have created a building which, in its form, its façade of bright metal panels, and floors resembling light bands, evokes an association with cell structures. The three combined buildings will provide space for approximately 210 employees, doctoral students and guest scientists to develop interactive assistance systems for everyday clinical use – from analyses and diagnostics to therapies.

KREBS+KIEFER Hamburg has been commissioned with the tasks of structural design for this building complex with a usable area of 2,600 m² on four floors, estimated at 15 million euros in construction costs.
