Arup has been commissioned by HOCHTIEF and BAM Germany to provide multidisciplinary support for the planning of the new headquarters of the Federal Ministry of Health (BMG) in Berlin.
The ministry’s operations – currently divided between several locations in Berlin – will now be consolidated within an ensemble of listed buildings in Berlin-Mitte by the end of 2020. The renovation work will start this year.
The Federal Ministry of Health will extend into two historic buildings with a total gross floor area of 68,000 square metres. The so-called "House 1" will include office spaces and a visitor center with press and conference area. "House 2" is intended for general ministerial use and will house a larger conference centre.
The design for the renovation was developed by the renowned Braunschweig architects KSP Jürgen Engel Architekten in close cooperation with the Historical Monuments Authority.
