S2 Laboratory – Virology at Technichal University Munich

The new building for the TUM Institute of Virology has become necessary to handle the steadily growing number of PCR analyses for Covid tests in a timely manner.  

The modular construction adds a further 140 m² of laboratory diagnostics space and provides the structural and technical conditions to expand laboratory capacity with additional testing equipment (Cobas 6800 from Roche), laboratory workbenches and 7 workspaces for doctors.

The HT Group delivered a total of six prefabricated laboratory modules, including foundations and with a direct connection to the Institute of Virology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The modular buildings, which were fabricated off-site in a factory, included the laboratory fit-out and building services for the Biosafety Level 2 extension laboratory.

The building is constructed from sustainable materials such as a larch solar shading screen, a pared-down concrete structure, recyclable metal constructions and is designed with a green roof.
