For the global medical technology company Siemens Healthineers, Dittel Architekten are realising a pioneering and user-centred work environment at the new High Energy Photonics (HEP) Centre at the Forchheim site. The 57,000-square-metre building is considered one of the most modern facilities for medical technology components in Europe and brings together production, research, development and logistics under one roof. The design concept focussed on efficient spatial solutions, simplified workflows and long-term employee satisfaction.
The office landscape of the new HEP Centre that DIA created for Siemens Healthineers presents itself as innovative and dynamic. As part of an preliminary consulting service, the architecture and design firm held a workshop series that incorporated users for the development of a future-oriented work environment. The resulting needs assessment served as the basis for the development of a unique design concept, which was implemented on six floors with a total of 15,000 square metres. This is implemented within the neutral technical shell that con-nects the production and office sections of the building.
The design concept is essentially derived from the CI colours Healthy Orange and Siemens Petrol, as well as the portmanteau word Health-ineers in the company name (a combination of Healthcare, Pioneer and Engineer). This transfers the corporate identity onto the space and makes the dynamic welcoming culture tangible for employees and visitors. The realisation of an innovative, highly efficient work environment that combines flexible spatial solutions, a healthy work culture and comfort was at the heart of the project. Another overarching objective was to link office and production in order to spatially reflect the diversity, equality and togetherness of employees that Siemens Healthineers values.
