Ribbed White Concrete FaƧade
At the heart of the Siemens Healthineers Education & Development Center in Erlangen, modern architecture meets functional elegance. SCOPE Architekten GmbH created an impressive structure that stands out for its innovative design and distinctive faƧade. This expansion of the existing training center combines a dynamic learning environment with the presentation of the product portfolio and the tangible identity of the MedTech company.
Zuber Beton GmbH was responsible for the faƧade implementation, with precise execution being crucial for the unique design. The innovative white concrete precast elements were realized with a custom-made ribbed structure from RECKLI, giving the building its distinctive appearance. The clear and structured exterior harmoniously blends with the surrounding buildings while making a bold statement. The large-scale louver structure is interspersed with glass surfaces, creating a dynamic sense of openness and transparency.
Precision On Site and Integration of Formliners
For the Siemens Healthineers Education & Development Center in Erlangen, exceptional on-site precision was essential to achieve the faƧadeās calm, continuous rhythm. Zuber Beton GmbH produced and installed white concrete precast elements in which every panel had to align exactly so the large-scale louver pattern runs seamlessly across joints. This was made possible through the early and tight integration of a custom RECKLI ribbed formliner with a rib depth of around 15 cm into the precast and formwork process. The accurate positioning and consistent casting quality ensured that the ribbing reads as one coherent texture over the entire building envelope, while alternating with glass inserts to create a dynamic interplay of depth, light, and transparency.
The center accommodates up to 240 trainees and dual students, actively addressing the predicted skills shortage. This commitment to sustainability is also reflected in the projectās construction, which adheres to the latest building standards and has been awarded the āLEED Goldā sustainability certificate.
