Interviews and quotes about the Campus

        

"For Siemens Mobility, the new Campus marks the dawn of a new working environment. The brand new infrastructure and fresh, modern offices will encourage closer cooperation and creativity. The move also increases our attractiveness as an employer and is a clear commitment to the Erlangen location."
 

Sabrina Soussan, CEO of Siemens Mobility. 

        

"The Siemens Campus Erlangen has reached another important milestone. With the first employees moving into Module 1, part of the site is now open to the public for the first time. I would like to invite anyone living in Erlangen to come and visit the Campus, stroll through the spacious open areas and gain an impression of this new part of their city."
 

Thomas Braun, General Manager of the Campus Project

        

"It is both right and proper that Siemens has been given a "facelift" with its new central address in the region. One that stands for innovation and the future, while honoring the long and proud history of our company. We want to encourage motivation and creativity while providing an environment in which Siemens employees, co-workers and students from the local Friedrich-Alexander university, as well as the citizens of Erlangen and guests from around the world all feel at home."

"With the Siemens Campus, the corporate global player has transformed the research park in the south of the city to one of its most modern sites worldwide. This represents a contribution to the future viability of the company as a whole, together with a clear commitment to the traditional Erlangen location. It also sends an important signal to the Bavarian business and innovation hub that will extend far beyond the Free State and the rest of Germany."

 

Joachim Herrmann, Bavaria's Interior Minister at the ceremonial laying of the foundation stone for Module 2. 

        

"Thanks to the Siemens Campus, out city is gaining a vibrant, modern urban district which puts into practice what characterizes Erlangen so strongly, namely the close interplay between exciting developments and the successful implementation of innovations. In the city center itself, the spaces which Siemens no longer requires have given us the opportunity to create a new university campus with the potential for local business to flourish."

 

Dr. Florian Janik, Mayor of Erlangen, at the ceremonial laying of the foundation stone for Module 2.

        

"Siemens Campus Erlangen is not a static project; it is alive and continuously developing. The Campus is being created one module at a time. This allows us to respond to changes over a period of about 15 years and make continuous improvements."

"The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Theology's new Center for the Humanities in the Himbeerpalast building and the expansion of the Faculty of Engineering on the Siemens Campus are major milestones that give a real boost to the area's credentials as a hotbed for science. Erlangen, world-class research and high-tech leader Siemens are inextricably linked."

Mobility on and around the Campus

Mobility on and around the Campus

The Siemens Campus Erlangen

is all about setting new standards, not just with its attractive campus structure and modern working environments, but also with its sophisticated mobility concept and mobility management, which are intended to make it a beacon for the region and beyond. Siemens Real Estate, which is leading the development of the Campus, invited representatives of a wide range of stakeholder groups to a joint one-day workshop on the subject of mobility on May 27, 2019. Participants worked together to devise innovative solutions for travel to and within the Campus and reconcile their different expectations, requirements and solutions. 

The results of this mobility day are presented here.

Digitalization, sustainability and modern working worlds 

Digitalization

In the digital age, it is not the fastest or even the biggest who win, but those who are best able to adjust to continuously changing environments and are open to new ideas. That is why digitalization has played a key role on the Siemens Campus from the very outset.

Sustainability

From the very outset, the Siemens Campus Erlangen was planned with sustainability in mind.

State-of-the-art building and energy technologies and an innovative remote cooling and heating concept will make it a showcase of efficiency and sustainability.

The Siemens Campus Erlangen will be the first Siemens location worldwide to be CO2-neutral. 

Modern working worlds

With the "Siemens Office – New way of working" initiative in 2009, Siemens was one of the first German corporations to introduce a global concept which offers a flexible choice of workplaces, ultramodern IT, a free choice between different types of workplaces and a better work-family balance.

This promotes motivation and creativity among employees and helps them fully develop their individual skills and capabilities.

Modern working worlds and agile working are the hallmarks of the Siemens Campus Erlangen.

Since 1965 when the first 1,500 employees moved to the new Siemens location, people proudly called it the "research city for power engineering". The research city turned into a research park where thousands of innovations were born, tested and brought to production over the past decades. Many of them have already become routine in our daily lives, while current ones will shape our lives going forward.
