GENERAL CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT FOR NEW TEACHING AND RESEARCH CENTER<br />

<strong>Drees</strong> & <strong>Sommer</strong> is responsible for planning and implementing the Bildungscampus<br />

Heilbronn (Heilbronn Education Campus) on behalf of the Dieter Schwarz<br />

Foundation. After a construction period of just one and a half years over 1,000<br />

people will study and work there. This speedy completion was made possible by the<br />

highly efficient General Construction Management (GCM) implementation model.<br />

A single source for<br />

development, planning and<br />

construction management<br />

Knowledge is the raw material of the<br />

future. The acquisition and systematic<br />

expansion of knowledge are of increasing<br />

importance in global competition. In<br />

Germany, private organizations are<br />

joining state education facilities in<br />

successfully sharing the responsibility<br />

for teaching and research – as is the<br />

case with the Dieter Schwarz Stiftung<br />

(foundation), which has been promoting<br />

education, personal development and<br />

research since 1999. In order to promote<br />

interdisciplinary exchange between<br />

various disciplines and faculties, the<br />

foundation took a far-reaching step in<br />

2008 in deciding to establish a new<br />

facility in the center of Heilbronn that<br />

would – for the first time – bring teachers<br />

and students from state and private<br />

educational establishments together.<br />

This vision is currently taking shape:<br />

The so-called Bildungscampus Heilbronn.<br />

From 2011, the German Graduate School<br />

of Management and Law (GGS), the<br />

Heilbronn Campus of the Baden-Wuerttemberg<br />

Cooperative State University (DHBW),<br />

and the Academy for innovative Education<br />

and Management (AIM) will occupy<br />

four modern buildings there.<br />

Communication drives knowledge –<br />

the Heilbronn Education Campus offers<br />

the ideal setting for this<br />

“ … one-stop shopping for planning,<br />

all cast in the same mold: That<br />

obviously offers numerous benefits<br />

not only for architecture, but also<br />

for economy and, not least of all,<br />

scheduling.”<br />

Dr. Erhard Klotz,<br />

CEO, Dieter Schwarz Stiftung<br />
