New modern building yard in Greifswald: 23 million for a sustainable future!
In Greifswald, in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district, construction work has begun on a future-oriented central building yard. The new project, which extends in the “Am Helmshäger Berg” industrial and commercial area, will cover an area of around 20,000 square meters. The investments amount to an impressive 2.3 million euros, and there are nothing but positive expectations for the approximately 100 employees who will be able to work under better working conditions. The existing locations are very outdated and no longer offer the functionality necessary to meet the requirements.
Not only functional administration buildings are planned, but also modern workshops, a washing hall for company vehicles and a gritting material hall with a brine system. There will also be garages, carports and storage areas, all of which will be a significant improvement. The new site is expected to be ready for occupancy at the end of 2027.
A building with foresight and sustainability
The sustainable orientation of the new building is particularly pleasing. The power supply is ensured by a photovoltaic system on the roof, which gives the project a promising dimension. A combination of a wood chip system and a heat pump is used to supply heat. This shows that they really have a good knack for environmentally friendly solutions.
Those responsible are also planning to plant the roofs of the buildings and halls, which will not only help improve air quality, but also provide aesthetic added value. It is expected that this new building project will meet the gold standard of the German Sustainable Building Council, even if an official certificate is not required for cost reasons. Because, as is well known, sustainability is also very important in the construction industry, efficiency and environmental awareness are taken into account during planning and execution.
International context of sustainable construction
The construction yard in Greifswald is not just a regional project; it fits into an international trend that aims to evaluate and improve the impact of buildings on sustainable development. As mentioned in the report by Sustainable Buildings.de, there are already numerous approaches to solutions, such as guidelines and checklists, that have been developed in recent years to increase quality and transparency in construction. These initiatives lay the foundation for the harmonization of evaluation criteria in Europe in order to ensure greater traceability.
With projects like the new construction yard in Greifswald it is clear that we are ready to take a step towards the future. Not only is efficient construction being worked on here, but a lot of emphasis is also placed on ecologically compatible solutions. Such developments make it clear that sustainable building must not just become a fad, but an integral part of planning - there is definitely something to be said!
Overall, it shows that the new building yard can be an important example of the most modern building practices and is integrated into the network of efforts towards sustainable construction. NDR reports that those responsible are consciously relying on environmentally friendly construction methods in order not only to improve working conditions, but also to make a contribution to sustainable development. This makes Greifswald a pioneer in the region and could serve as a model for future projects.
