Clemens-Winkler Building
Needs-based accommodation laboratory concept stage 1 - refurbishment of old building
The defining building of Campus South is the Clemens-Winkler-Bau with its lecture theatre annex on the east side. The ensemble of buildings to the south-west of Leipziger Straße is home to the Faculty of Chemistry and Physics.
The Clemens-Winkler-Bau is a landmark building for the campus development and is a listed building. There are plans to renovate this building, which dates back to the 1950s. As an initial measure, a new replacement building for the practical labs on Leipziger Straße was erected in 2012-14. The aim was to vacate and demolish the west wing, which has since been completed. The construction of two further new buildings (new centre laboratory wing and new south laboratory wing) was also completed.
The third and final phase is now the refurbishment of the main building with the aim of optimising the office, teaching and storage space required. To this end, the basic structure of the building will be retained and adapted to the changed utilisation requirements. The refurbishment will create 4,596 m² of main usable space.
Clemens-Winkler Building
Needs-based accommodation | Laboratory concept stage 1 - New construction of central and south laboratory wings
The construction project is planned on the TU Bergakademie Freiberg campus site, which is located to the north-west of the city centre. The dominant building in this area is the Clemens-Winkler-Bau from the 1950s and 1960s, which is used by the Faculty of Chemistry and Physics. This is a landmark building for the campus development and is a listed building.
The first measure was the construction of the north laboratory wing in 2012-14 as a replacement building for the practical laboratories on Leipziger Straße. The construction of two further new buildings connected to the old building and the renovation of the old Clemens-Winkler-Bau building are planned as further measures.
The aim of the new central and south laboratory wings on the west side of the Clemens-Winkler-Bau building is to provide optimal accommodation for the required laboratories, workshops and storage areas. The two additional laboratory wings will create approx. 4,500 m² of main usable space for various uses with the integration of S2 laboratories and clean room areas.
The other areas required will be accommodated in a further construction phase after completion of the new laboratory wing buildings with renovation of the existing building in the Clemens-Winkler-Bau main building.
Construction period: 2017-2023 (new laboratory wing buildings)
Faculty of Mechanical, Process and Energy Engineering
Centre for Process and Mechanical Engineering, new hall complex, 2nd and 3rd construction phase
This measure will expand the existing Technical Centre for Machine and Process Development on Lampadiusstrasse by two additional test halls and three further technical centre blocks.
The Institutes of Machine Elements, Engineering Design and Manufacturing (MEKF), Mechanical Engineering (UUMA), Mechanical Process Engineering and Mineral Processing (MVTAT), Ceramics, Glass and Building Materials Technology (KGBT) and Thermal Process Engineering, Environmental Resources and Mineral Processing (ITUN) will receive urgently needed laboratory and technical centre space to replace the worn-out ones in the existing Karl Kegel and Erich Rammler buildings.
With the third construction phase, the Technical Centre for Machine and Process Development on Lampadiusstrasse will be adapted to the current requirements of the institutes, which have arisen from new research fields and new research focuses as a result of new appointments and reassignments of professorships. In the EW planning for construction phase 2 (2017), future requirements were partially taken into account in advance by providing basic installations. However, as the new research fields had not yet started or had only just begun, the requirements for the equipment could not be defined in detail at that time. In particular, the successful acquisition of third-party funded projects in application-related research in recent years has made it necessary to adapt and expand the infrastructure and equipment.
Examinations of the existing buildings showed that a modern laboratory infrastructure in historical buildings is neither economically viable nor does the technical implementation appear feasible due to the large number of complex boundary conditions.
While the Faculty of Mechanical, Process and Energy Engineering already received modern technical centre areas for general mechanical engineering in 2011 with the first construction phase of the hall complex, the higher-equipped areas for process engineering are now to follow with this measure. The research activities of future users will thus be significantly strengthened, as application-oriented research in particular requires the translation of the laboratory scale into industrial or semi-industrial sizes.
Construction period 2nd construction phase: 2020-2023
Construction period 3rd construction phase: 2025-2026
