ZEVS Kiel – Laboratory and lecture theatre building

With the construction of the Centre for Networked Sensor Systems (ZEVS), Ed. ZÜBLIN AG has created a state-of-the-art research and education facility for Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel. The building combines laboratory space, lecture theatres and modern working environments for cutting-edge interdisciplinary research.

As the main contractor, Ed. ZÜBLIN AG was responsible for the turnkey construction of the ZEVS in Kiel. The centre serves as a link between the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, and strengthens Schleswig-Holstein’s position as a centre of research in the long term.

Covering a gross floor area of 11,645 m², the centre comprises highly specialised laboratory areas, modern office spaces, a 120-seat lecture theatre and open communication zones for students and researchers.

The sophisticated building services and the integration of complex laboratory technology placed high demands on planning, coordination and execution. Thanks to precise processes, the project was successfully completed within the planned construction period from May 2021 to November 2023.

Architecturally, the striking clinker brick façade defines the building’s appearance. It blends harmoniously into the campus whilst also serving as a modern symbol of research and innovation.

The ZEVS has established itself as a centre for the development of intelligent sensor systems that can be used in future in fields such as environmental monitoring, medical technology and sustainable energy supply.

The project underlines Ed. ZÜBLIN AG’s expertise in educational and research construction and demonstrates the successful realisation of technically sophisticated specialist properties.
