The facility’s design incorporates sustainability practices.  

These include the installation of solar panels, greywater drainage systems, electric vehicle charging points, and the adoption of nature-based solutions for ventilation and drainage.  

Ries+Ries Architekten Ingenieure is the architect of the project.  

Ries+Ries Architekten Ingenieure’s Simone Dolderer-Heinitz said: “Sustainability is an important part of the architecture for the new building. We use new technologies in our engineering that allow us to completely dispense with heating fuel. 

“For example, the heating and cooling supply is provided by two hot air pumps and photovoltaics on the roof, which are used to partly supply our own electricity. We have green roofs that retain and disperse the rainwater.”
