Siemens Campus Erlangen Case study

In any office, it is necessary to balance focused work with the constant need for communication. Especially in open-plan spaces, like in Siemens Campus Erlangen, the din of voices can disrupt employees’ concentration. The solution in such cases are products with high acoustic effectiveness. The campus relies on sound-ab- sorbing wall panels or privacy panels, low-frequency absorbers and free-standing partition walls. This creates optimal conditions for efficient working. Thanks to sound-absorbing products, noises and voices do not spread throughout the room. The acoustic solutions also act as room dividers, visually separating different areas and creating a pleasant room atmosphere. One may wonder how to keep things tidy in a space where several thousand people work. In campus employees’ personal belongings are stored in lockable lockers, so that each day the desks are clean and ready to be occupied by a new person. The lockers have a dedicated slot, like a letterbox, so employees can pass correspondence to each other even when the other person is not at work on a particular day. It is also a safe place to store important documentation. 19
