December 05, 2025 HOINKA GmbH is supporting the DGNB certification for construction site D on the Bildungscampus West in Heilbronn. The aim is to achieve the highest certification level, DGNB Platinum.
Under the motto “The future is being created here”, the Dieter Schwarz Foundation is expanding the educational campus to the west in the coming years. The aim is to create a climate-friendly, urban campus that combines sustainability, diversity, start-up culture and future viability and creates optimal conditions for research, teaching and student life. Plots B and D will be realized in the first construction phase. Work has been underway since the ground-breaking ceremony on May 5, 2025, with completion scheduled for the end of 2027 to the beginning of 2028.
A six-storey office building with approx. 150 workstations, around 170 meeting places and office space for start-ups is being built on site D on a floor area of 1,055 m². Together with the communication zones, this creates a modern working environment that enables both communicative working together and focused working alone. Large parts of the first floor are open to the public. The showroom and a café are located here. The three basement floors contain underground parking, logistics areas and a central energy center for the entire campus. The main tenant of the building will be the Ferdinand Steinbeis Institute (FSI).
Ramona Schuster is accompanying the project as DGNB auditor for HOINKA GmbH. The goal is DGNB Platinum – the highest certification level of the German Sustainable Building Council.
Sustainability features at a glance:
- Hybrid timber construction
- Photovoltaic and PVT modules on several roof surfaces, partly as pergola or sun protection
- Biodiversity roofs combined with PV
- Ground-based façade greening
- Car-free district with automated, publicly accessible bicycle parking facilities
We are delighted to be part of this forward-looking project. The large number of construction sites on the education campus and their interdependencies show how challenging and at the same time exciting sustainable neighborhood development is.
