Innovation spaces stimulate and enable thought processes, conversations and experiments with uncertain outcomes. The (as yet) uncertain is a condition of learning, discovery, creativity and innovation – and we want to foster this in our Future Innovation Spaces. As part of a holistic approach, our experts design and implement learning environments in a participatory process that invites learning, experimentation, cooperation and exchange – for the innovators of tomorrow, both big and small.

STIMULATING TOMORROW’S INNOVATION

• Are you wondering which innovation promotion strategy is right for your institution? And are you looking for a holistic vision for research and education that will shape your educational and research institution in the future?
• Do you want to create spaces in which your users feel at home and which stimulate innovation?
• Are you wondering how your educational institution – as a hybrid system – can adequately address current social developments such as demographic change and migration as well as technological trends such as digitization and artificial intelligence?
• Are you unsure of available subsidies and how to apply for them?

OUR APPROACH

We approach your project in close coordination with you: We develop a strategy for stimulating innovation, implement the concept, and handle subsidy management. Together with you, we develop a mission statement for your institution: This enhances user identification with the building. We also transfer this vision to a hybrid architectural and educational concept that covers various user groups: This results in coherent space concepts that are not only technically state of the art, but in which it is fun to research and learn.

Modern learning facilities offer space for the 4Cs: communication, concentration, collaboration and chill-out. They move away from corridor design to cluster design, with multipurpose rooms and spaces that reflect modern approaches to learning. Science and research can also be undertaken in such innovation spaces by having our specialists work together in interdisciplinary teams. They combine expert knowledge of (sustainable) construction, education, and sociology with industry-specific experience, and implement each practical requirement.
