In the German town of Holzkirchen near Munich, Bosch has constructed a campus with a laboratory, office building and parking garage for its development engineers. The design was based on a master plan. The goal was to create a place where people and their work take center stage – one that offers the best opportunities to forge ahead towards the future of electromobility, Industry 4.0 and other technologies. The new buildings enhance the existing campus; Bosch has been based in Holzkirchen’s
northern commercial district since 2015.

The campus is an open site that needs no enclosure. It is meant to be a place for meetings and cooperation – for Bosch Engineering, ITK Engineering, and the various external partners. At this newly constructed office and laboratory site, encompassing around 25,000 square meters, associates are finding an ideal working environment. Each team has its own area at the company where it can give its creativity free rein. They can choose between different spaces according to their task and project. Those who prefer quiet spaces for individual work can find places to retreat to, while groups can meet in attractive creative zones or ultra-modern laboratory landscapes.
In addition, the property offers areas for events, such as networking meetings with other companies. The public is also invited to explore the campus, for example during site visits or meals at the publicly accessible company restaurant.

A goal of the interior design: promoting social interactions.

Environmental protection, climate neutrality, sustainability, and energy efficiency were top priorities during the construction. In addition to offering 800 spaces for cars, the parking garage can accommodate 200 two-wheelers and has 50 charging stations for electric vehicles and e-bikes. A photovoltaic system with a peak output of around 550 kilowatts covers the roof areas. The year-round demand for the cooling of laboratory facilities and test rigs is met by heat pumps, whose waste heat flows
into the heating system for building heat and hot water. This makes it possible to conserve about 650 megawatt hours (MWh) of gas or 120 tons of CO2 per year. The annual gas consumption is expected to drop by another 880 MWh or so in the medium term. This is achieved by connecting to the deep geothermal energy available through the Holzkirchen municipal utility company, which eliminates an additional 150 tons of CO2 per year.
