Sustainability and the New Work concept – modernising an office building on the Schüco Campus
Schüco Corporate Services building
Bielefeld. Schüco has been renovating and modernising its company Campus in Bielefeld since 2016. Recently, the Schüco Corporate Services building there was modernised. All of the aluminium components from the existing building were fed back into the raw material cycle to be recycled. In their place is now a Cradle to Cradle certified AF UDC 80 unitised façade, which gives the building a new lease of life. With regard to the office design, Schüco followed the concept of New Work, a forward-thinking approach to the workplace.

The office levels were redesigned in line with the principles of New Work. Open areas with the option of desk sharing, individual offices providing a quiet working environment, as well as meeting rooms and zones for informal communication alternate with one another in the floor plans.

Back into the raw material cycle: All of the aluminium components from the façade and canopy of the existing building were dismantled and fed back into the A|U|F raw material cycle. In total, 28 tonnes of the material were extracted from the building, which was confirmed by European Aluminium (EA) following an external audit, which confirmed a recycling rate of 98.3%.
