The order covers two phases of construction, the first of which should be completed and ready for use by mid-2024. At that point, various established companies, start-ups and scientific institutions will begin to conduct research at the EUREF-Campus Düsseldorf into areas including energy, mobility, environmental protection and climate change mitigation technology, developing ideas for the future and testing their implementation. The Campus concept also includes an indoor garden, event and meeting areas as well as extensive food and drink options. The staggered second phase of construction will run alongside the first and be completed by mid-2025.

In order to meet the ambitious schedule, Implenia is working from the very beginning with a BIM model and a Lean construction schedule, as well as with very experienced and highly motivated teams on both sides.

With its smart energy concept, the EUREF-Campus will form part of a network of green energy producers and storage providers in the region. The Campus energy concept includes water from the Lichtenbroich quarry pond and photovoltaic systems on the roofs and facades.

André Wyss, CEO of Implenia, is very happy to have won the project: “Sustainability is one of Implenia’s five corporate values. We are therefore very pleased to be building a research and development campus whose work will focus on sustainability and which is itself geared toward CO2-neutral operation. We would like to thank EUREF AG for its trust and look forward to a successful cooperation.”
