ZAL TECHCENTER
Rear View
— ZAL GmbH′s Property Management is responsible for
the provision, reliability, and security of all building infrastructure
and services within the TechCenter′s 26,000
square meters of floor space. Head of Property Management,
André Kohlhoff, has a team of eight specialists,
organized into four separate areas: Facility Management,
Project Management, and the two service areas Workshop
and Reception.
A COMMON CREED – SATISFIED BUILDING USERS
Flexible workspaces, shared infrastructure, intercompany
projects – the very nature of the TechCenter means that
the number of people in the building will vary from day to
day. The facility is fully tenanted, but not all the 600 workspaces
are occupied every day. Networking is the be-all
and end-all in research, and people who work at the Tech-
Center travel a lot. On the other hand, a lot of visitors and
research partners, who don′t have assigned workspaces,
come here. It′s not unusual for more than 350 visitors to
be in the building on any one day. But for the Property
Team, it makes no difference whether building users are
guests or staff; the aim is always to make them happy.
