In the west of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, the Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld (SCHB) is being built in the district of Bahrenfeld in the district of Altona. With it, Hamburg has been facing a large-scale urban transformation task since 2019, which not only strengthens its scientific location, but also acts as a beacon project for the future of urban development. In the coming years, an innovative urban space will develop here, linking science, research, teaching, business, urban life and high-quality living. The idea of the Science City is further elaborated in sub-spaces through urban development deepenings. The key development areas within SCHB are the districts at Volkspark, Campus West and Innovationspark Hamburg Altona. In particular, the Campus West division plays a central role within this structure. As the scientific core of the SCHB, it unites existing institutions of the University of Hamburg (UHH), the DESY research centre and other partners such as the Max Planck Institute. In 2024, a jointly developed framework was adopted for this area, which opens up a long-term perspective for the structural development of science with high design quality and a clear recognition value. Against this background, the Learning Center will be implemented as part of a forward-looking network of new teaching and learning spaces. At SCHB, the University of Hamburg will bundle key scientific disciplines in the future: Physics is brought together and further developed, chemistry is rebuilt, and parts of biology and digital natural sciences are also located here. In this structure, the Learning Center is a central component of the infrastructure for studying and student life at SCHB. At the same time, the Learning Center should also be open to the district and serve as a central meeting place and meeting point for students and teachers, scientists, as well as city society and neighbourhood. The open and inviting character of this building is therefore a central task for the design. In particular, the planned quarter module is intended to enable networking with the district The transformation of an existing ensemble of the Landesbetrieb Immobilienmanagement und Grundvermögen (LIG) at Albert-Einstein-Ring 17-21 creates a modern learning world for the approximately 5,500 students of SCHB. The Learning Center is intended to unite central student learning and information areas for all study programs located in the SCHB as well as services for students under one roof. Areas for the Department of Physics are also planned. The Learning Center is to set new standards in its design and use - as a central place for learning and living on campus, as a link between university and urban space and as a visible sign of future-oriented science and urban development in the Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld. The procedure takes place as a non-open, two-phase, structural design competition with participation competition and downstream negotiated procedure in accordance with the VgV. As part of the participation competition, 10 planning teams are to be selected for the competition. The competition procedure is registered with the Hamburg Chamber of Architects under the number NO-04-25-HRW. The contracting authority can be supported and advised in the operational implementation of this procedure by the office D&K drost consult GmbH, Hamburg.
