Space for Education of the Future
Start of Construction for Campus Chiemgau in Traunstein
The Campus Chiemgau is taking shape: By 2029, a state-of-the-art educational hub at the intersection of business, science, and practice will be created. Computational Design played a key role in our digital Integrated Design, making the process more efficient and precise.
Kick-off for a "lighthouse project": A future-oriented educational campus is being built on the former train station site in Traunstein. The Campus Chiemgau will provide highly modern learning and working environments for the Technical University of Rosenheim, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce Academy, and the Chamber of Crafts. In collaboration with BKS & Partner Architects from Munich, our planning team has developed an innovative building concept that combines academic and vocational training.
The special feature of this campus is that science and practice work closely together here – in joint projects, with a clear focus on the integration of academic and vocational education.

Computational Design
A forward-thinking project requires innovative methods: Computational design was extensively used in the planning of the Campus Chiemgau. Thanks to digital tools, the planning team was able to precisely model complex geometries, develop different variations of the spatial program faster, and optimize coordination in the planning process.
The result: a tailored concept perfectly aligned with the needs of the users.
Through various algorithms, we were able to intelligently link different parameters – thus maximizing the potential of our digital Integrated Design.

Interdisciplinary Educational Campus
The ensemble of two polygonal buildings is organized around an inviting foyer with open air spaces and abundant daylight. In addition to seminar rooms and offices, specialized digital workspaces and VR labs, film studios, and workshops are being created. A highlight is the Skybar with a view of the Chiemgau Alps. The "Cybrary" combines traditional library functions with digital knowledge formats, creating an innovative learning space. Upon completion in 2029, the campus will accommodate up to 600 students for learning, research, and work.
