ASTO Campus Two

ASTO Campus Two office and production building - Functional architecture for high-tech working environments

In the period from July 2020 to October 2022, Ed. Züblin AG, Erfurt division, constructed an office and production building with underground parking on behalf of ASTO Besitz- und Immobilienverwaltungs mbH in Gilching's southern industrial estate. Located in the south-west of the greater Munich area, the site is characterized by innovative high-tech companies from the aerospace, robotics, IT, satellite navigation and mechanical engineering sectors.

A three-part building complex was created on the last available plot of land on Zeppelinstrasse, which blends in functionally and architecturally with the existing surroundings and at the same time offers space for future usage requirements.

Building structure and space concept

The ensemble consists of three adjoining structures, each with a floor area of around 40 x 40 meters and a total length of around 120 meters. With four floors above ground and a building height of around 15.50 meters, the new building offers a gross floor area of 27,457 square meters with a gross volume of 95,884 cubic meters.

Below the buildings is a two-storey underground garage with a total of 235 parking spaces, supplemented by a small number of above-ground parking spaces. A total of around 16,500 square meters of floor space is available for office and production use. The space concept was deliberately designed to be flexible in order to accommodate different tenant requirements - particularly in the production areas on the first floor and second floor.

Construction and design

The load-bearing structure of the building is a solid construction made of reinforced concrete. The foundations were laid using individual foundations, strip foundations, ground beams and floor slabs for the building cores.

In order to create large areas with few columns, wide-span prestressed concrete floorboards were used in selected areas. Partially demountable ceilings above the first floor allow the floor plans to be adapted at a later date. In the underground garage, mainly semi-prefabricated parts were used for the walls, while the walls of the upper floors were mainly made of in-situ concrete or fully prefabricated parts.

The exterior façades are completely clad in powder-coated aluminum, giving the building a clear, industrial appearance. Where possible, the roof surfaces were extensively greened.

Sustainable infrastructure and special technical features

The rainwater management system is completely designed for infiltration on the property. The rainwater is channelled into the ground via infiltration trenches.

The immediate location of the construction project in the flight path of Oberpfaffenhofen Airport posed a particular challenge. A multi-phase crane concept was therefore developed for the construction work. In the final construction phase, a track crane was used, the operation of which was closely coordinated with the airport tower and could be moved out of the critical area at short notice in the event of relevant approaches.

Digital planning and turnkey implementation

The project was implemented using BIM methods, which allowed planning and construction processes to be coordinated transparently and interfaces to be agreed at an early stage. The Erfurt division implemented the project on a turnkey basis and took on all structural engineering, fit-out and technical building services.

The new building in Gilching is an efficient, flexible location that combines architectural clarity, technical precision and sustainable infrastructure - a reference project for sophisticated office and production buildings in a technology-driven environment.
