Cyber Valley Innovation Campus

The Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen is planning new buildings for the Cyber Valley Initiative on the grounds of the Obere Viehweide Science and Technology Park in Tübingen. The Cyber Valley Initiative is one of the largest AI projects in Europe.
The new building of the first construction phase offers space for basic research and application in the field of intelligent systems at the University of Tübingen and the cooperating Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, as well as offices and laboratories, seminar rooms and two lecture halls, plus lounges and meeting rooms.
It is designed as a 6-storey reinforced concrete structure with a basement, first floor and 4 upper floors. The large inner hall, which extends from the first floor to the 4th floor, is covered by a pneumatically supported ETFE foil roof.

The façade consists of static metal slats on the first floor and movable elements on the upper floors, visually separated by a glass joint. The envelope of the upper floors consists of sliding metal elements covered with a translucent fabric as sun protection. The second construction phase picks up on the type of the first and supplements it in function and use with a similar building with additional laboratories, seminar rooms and a lecture hall.

An atrium will be created on the roof of the lecture hall, extending from the 1st floor to the 4th floor. An existing building will be converted in the course of the construction work and integrated into the new concept.
