Perfect environment for start-ups
The Technology and Start-up Centre TGZ in the port of Straubing-Sand offers a broad and flexible portfolio of premises for young companies. Added to this are services such as the use of conference and meeting rooms. This concept is so popular that the operator has decided to expand the TGZ. We are supplementing the existing building with an elongated timber frame structure to create a multifunctional campus.
The elongated block extends the BioCubator building to the north and completes the established structures of the TGZ to form a campus. A green inner courtyard encourages interaction within the building and offers users an attractive view. The office wing of the new building docks directly onto the existing building. The slightly higher laboratory wing adjoins it.
Recognisable as a timber construction from the outside, the new building has a horizontally structured, rear-ventilated timber façade. The front pergolas and the connecting bridge are covered with a wire mesh that serves as a support for the greenery on the façade.
On the BioCampus in the port of Straubing-Sand, our building forms the third construction phase of the Technology & Start-up Centre TGZ and complements the existing building to create a multifunctional campus. The extension offers start-up initiatives in the vicinity of the Technical University of Munich optimal conditions.
