Development planning (EP)

KIT's structural infrastructure is confronted with major challenges: high renovation requirements for existing buildings, adaptation to the consequences of climate change, rising construction prices and the constant evolution of scientific needs.

Against this backdrop, the Development Planning (EP) department develops concepts for the structural development of the individual campuses as well as renovation concepts for KIT buildings. The key objectives are

• Ensure scientific excellence - through modern, efficient infrastructures.
• Aligning the real estate strategy for the future - with a focus on efficiency, flexibility and networking.
• Implement climate protection and climate adaptation - as integral components of all measures.

Our Responsibilities

• Project development
  Preparation of requirements planning with space allocation plan, site evaluation and cost estimation as the basis for the decision project implementation.
• Building condition assessment
  Collection and continuous updating of relevant building data to objectively evaluate KIT's real estate portfolio as an important basis for the annual KIT risk report and for prioritizing renovation measures.
• Campus development
  Design and initiation of innovative space concepts for science, including sustainable campus development.
• General structural planning and campus development
  The goal of Master Structural Planning and Site Development is to sustainably modernize and future-proof KIT's building infrastructure, providing a solid basis for investment decisions and location strategies.
