Siemens AG is constructing a modern and sustainably designed Siemens Campus Erlangen in the southern part of the city of Erlangen, Germany. By 2030, the company's research center in the south of the city will have been transformed step-by-step into one of Siemens' most advanced locations worldwide. Future-oriented office, research and laboratory jobs will be located on the campus. Equipped with the most advanced building and energy technologies, it will be developed over the long term into Siemens' first CO
2-neutral location worldwide. A new urban residential and living environment will arise on the campus grounds. Siemens will be part of the community as never before. Designed by the Frankfurt architects KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten, the campus's open plan will link the company and society and provide a basis for the exchange of ideas.

The future Siemens Campus Erlangen - virtual 3D tour (in German)
The groundbreaking ceremony marks the start of the construction of the first module of Siemens Campus Erlangen. A completely new urban district is now set to arise in the southern part of Erlangen, Germany, Siemens' largest location worldwide. Scheduled for completion in 2030, the campus will include a hotel, restaurants and service operations as well as office buildings. Over the next few years, the construction of the Siemens campus will gradually transform the research center in the south of Erlangen into one of the company's most advanced locations worldwide. With state-of-the-art building and energy technology, the premises will be developed over the long term into Siemens' first CO
2-neutral location worldwide. In cooperation with Erlangen's municipal utility, the campus will operate on a CO
2-neutral basis thanks to an innovative district cooling and heating concept and innovative building technology and will be a model of efficiency and sustainability. Openness and transparency will characterize not only the outward features of the campus but also the work environments within its buildings, which will have an open, flexible design. Siemens Campus Erlangen was designed by the architects KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten of Frankfurt, Germany. The groundbreaking ceremony marked the start of the first module. The campus's eight office buildings, its three multi-storey car parks and a canteen for around 7,000 employees will be ready for occupation by 2020. The first module will be followed by a second, whose 70-meter skyscraper will add a new feature to the Erlangen skyline. Guests at the ceremony were given a first impression of the future campus in a virtual 3D tour.
