ZQB - Center for Quantum and Biosciences University

With the "Center for Quantum and Biosciences" (ZQB), the University of Ulm is pursuing the goal of creating an interdisciplinary research center that uses materials research, chemical biology and nanotechnology to further develop new experimental methods and theoretical concepts from quantum technology. The new building fits into the lines of the campus site as a cube and its inner courtyard echoes the open spaces formed by the existing cross structure.

A flexibly usable skeleton structure was chosen for the supporting structure. The slender reinforced concrete flat slabs were prestressed in the area of the large conference rooms. A curtain-type precast concrete façade was developed for the exterior walls of the upper floors. In the basement, the highly sensitive laser laboratories had to be vibration and electromagnetically decoupled.
