The investment is being made in the Ehrenberg-Ost industrial district, which LEG Thüringen is successfully developing and marketing. Covering an area the size of a soccer field, the new building will provide space for modern workstations in development, production, logistics, laboratories and offices. “We are pleased to achieve several important goals with the new building,” said Bertram Eichhorn, Site Director at Analytik Jena Ilmenau and head of the new building project. “We are creating space for further growth and the opportunity to bring our two Ilmenau sites under one roof.” The company says it has benefited from the conditions at the fast-growing Ehrenberg-Ost site. For example, the site utilizes local district heating powered by biogas, giving it an excellent carbon footprint. The new building also features a sustainable design with a photovoltaic system, a green roof and a green facade. For company employees, the investment will provide more pleasant and productive working conditions. “The new building will provide an innovative and attractive working environment, all within walking distance of the Ilmenau University of Technology,” added Grit Petzholdt-Gühne, VP Human Resources and the Executive Board member who is responsible for the project.
