Contracts for University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf
Bunnik, 30 January 2013 – BAM Deutschland AG (the German operating company of Royal BAM Group nv, specialising in non-residential building projects) has been commissioned by the NRW development corporation to construct three buildings for a university of applied sciences in Düsseldorf. The contract value is more than €54 million. At the same time, Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau (BAM’s German civil engineering company) received an order from the city of Düsseldorf to the value of more than €8 million for improving the accessibility to and from the campus site.
For the Fachhochschule Düsseldorf, one of the largest universities of applied sciences in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia with 7,000 students, BAM Deutschland is constructing two faculty buildings in the district of Derendorf. They will contain lecture rooms, study areas, recording studios, sports facilities, and a service building that will house, among other things, a restaurant with room for 1,600 people, and a bistro. The buildings will be located above an underground car park, which is being built by a third party. The design is by Nickl & Partner Architekten AG from Munich.
Work on the project is due to start shortly, and the buildings are expected to be ready in mid-2014. Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau has already started constructing the necessary infrastructure. This involves, among other things, the building of a seven hundred-metre road, partly raised, which will link up to a road viaduct via slip roads.
