INM Leibniz Institute for New Materials – Phased Renovation and Modernisation of the Institute

The INM, located on the campus of Saarland University in Saarbrücken, is one of the leading research institutes in the fields of chemical nanotechnology, interfacial materials and biointerfacial materials. Built in several stages since the 1980s, the institute employed approximately 220 staff members and comprised office and administrative areas as well as numerous laboratories, including S2 laboratories.
Due to increasing requirements and outdated technical infrastructure, the institute was modernised in several phases while remaining in operation. wpw was responsible for all system groups. The measures included the replacement of lighting and electrical systems, HVAC and laboratory climate control systems, refrigeration and gas supply systems, as well as the development of EMC concepts.
Particularly sensitive laboratory areas were equipped with innovative cooling and supply technologies.
