allmannwappner was commissioned by the BMW Group to plan the training and further education centre in order to further develop the modern Talent Campus in Munich. Together with the existing training buildings, an open campus for the training and further education of the approximately 40,000 employees at the Munich site is being created in the north-east of the main plant on the site of a former multi-storey car park.
With its openness, transparency and ecological construction, the overall concept creates a new, attractive and identity-forming factory appearance with a high quality of stay.
With a public café and newly designed green spaces, the factory presents itself to the urban space and creates interaction with its surroundings. A smooth transition to the neighbourhood is created.
The new building, modelled on a high-bay warehouse, is designed as an open, highly flexible and therefore durable structure.
Natural materials are used in the construction, façade and interior fittings, while at the same time recyclability has been taken into account through the consistent separability of the components.
The hybrid timber construction houses modern training rooms and workshops, a staff restaurant, and a public café. The neutral decks on each floor allow for a variety of different usage scenarios in the long term. These can be changed and adapted as the building's life cycle progresses.
The central, light-flooded atrium is a defining feature. Open staircases provide access to the various platforms, which offer trainees collaboration areas, spaces for informal exchanges, and temporary learning and working areas.
The roof areas of the new building are also used in a variety of ways. In addition to spacious workshop areas, there are green outdoor recreation areas with views over the BMW Group plant and the city towards the mountains.
