Business School Renovation, Berlin
The European School of Management and Technology seeks a team to complete the renovation of a listed former State Council building in Berlin, Germany.
The tender seeks a design team to complete the final phase of delivery for the refurbishment of Bauteil A within the listed former State Council Building at Schlossplatz, Berlin. Building on an advanced design, developed to approximately 80% completion, the commission centres on the finalisation, coordination and implementation of the remaining technical design and construction stages. The scope encompasses the detailed resolution of principal teaching and event spaces, including the multifunction room, Sitzungssaal, Auditoria 5 and 6, and associated foyers and circulation areas, alongside their supporting facilities. Beyond design completion, the role extends to procurement support and construction-phase services, including preparation of tender documentation, contractor selection, and on-site supervision. The commission is therefore defined less by new spatial proposals than by the careful orchestration of an already established scheme, bringing it through to execution within a technically dense, heritage-sensitive environment.
