The Shed project comprises the development of a large area on the banks of the Spree, which is intended for university use with catering space, among other things. The construction project includes the conversion and extension of an existing building and the construction of a total of three new office and commercial buildings.

The Community Hall, an existing building on a former industrial site, originally served as a warehouse with office space. In the course of the conversion work, the 1721 m² building was completely gutted and the supporting structure was repaired or upgraded as required. A special feature of the conversion measures is the extension of the building on the ground floor. A new building will be erected within or below the existing structure. The foundation of the new building is carried out as an independent deep foundation using micropiles between the existing foundation of the former hall.

The new Warehouse building extends over 6 storeys above ground and one underground storey. The supporting structure for the rising floors of the new building is a mixed construction of reinforced concrete and composite construction. The storey ceilings are partly designed as wide-span, beamless flat ceilings and partly as slim-floor ceilings in composite construction. These consist of steel beams that are flush with the ceiling and hollow prestressed concrete planks resting on them as ceiling elements. The use of slim-floor ceiling systems in conjunction with prestressed concrete hollow core slabs enabled large spans in combination with low construction heights, while at the same time achieving significant material savings and resource efficiency. Thanks to the high degree of prefabrication of the individual system components and the associated rapid assembly, it was possible to achieve unusually fast construction progress.
