W9 on the 'Wissenscampus'

Initial situation

Initial situation

Stuttgart-Weilimdorf is a well-known office location. A large site on Weissacher Strasse has long been under-utilised in terms of space efficiency and is about to be reorganised due to the imminent change of a major tenant.

The good connections to the city centre will be further improved in the near future: In addition to the S-Bahn station, which is already within walking distance, the city of Stuttgart is planning an underground station in the immediate vicinity.

The concept

The concept

The new building (W9) on the Wissenscampus in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf is a location for knowledge and innovation-driven companies. The success of the development is based on the reorganisation of the surface parking areas.

WÖHR + BAUER is building a compact, high-capacity multi-storey car park. This creates space for a modern office building.

The new building, designed by wma Architekten, not only stands out for its extravagant design, but also as a green building with a sophisticated sustainability concept.

Following the construction of the new W9 building, WÖHR + BAUER is now focusing on the revitalisation of the existing W11 ensemble and other developments on the site. In the coming years, a business district with a total of more than 68,000 square metres of building space will be created under the name "Wissenscampus".

The result

The property was fully let to the software company Vector before construction began.

A heat pump with ice storage cools in summer and heats in winter. Thanks to this system, the W9 generates around 85 per cent of the required heat from renewable energy. Depending on the cooling requirements of the server rooms, up to 50 percent of the cooling energy is generated from renewable sources.

The design and architecture of the W9 supports serendipitous encounters between people in a variety of ways, encouraging dialogue.
