Spring 2019
Workshops moderated by the if5 agency are held for all ZMT employees to collect ideas, needs and requirements of all future users of the building. These will then be processed in such a way that they can flow into the further process - including implementation by architects. All ZMT employees are involved in this participatory process. Also in spring 2019, immobilien bremen, the enterprise of the municipality of Bremen, begins steering the project for the new ZMT building.
16/05/2019
In May 2019, the Bremen law firm Ganten Hünecke Bieniek & Partner, which specialises in construction and tenancy law, can be engaged to advise on the new building project and to carry out the VgV planning procedure.

19 - 21/6/2023
From 19-21 June, the first internal workshops were held with ZMT staff on the following topics:
-
Presentation of the design for the new ZMT building with a focus on the working world. Insight into the competition design of the new ZMT building. The architectural aspects and the integration of modern working concepts are presented.
-
Best Practice Modern Working Worlds. By analysing projects that have already been implemented, the topic of modern working environments with all its facets will be examined more closely.
-
Work processes at the ZMT. Using fictitious personas, we would like to consider the different work processes and the resulting requirements for the workplace and the resulting demands on the workplace.
-
The future workplace at the ZMT. Together we would like to design the workplace of the future at the ZMT and consider how it can be optimally adapted to the needs and requirements of the ZMT, how it can be optimally aligned with the needs and requirements of the employees.
-
Presentation of the design of the new ZMT building with focus on the public zone & library. Detailed insight into the design of the new ZMT building. The focus is on the public areas of the ZMT: foyer, seminar & meeting areas and the library.
-
Events at ZMT. Based on the events held at the ZMT so far, we would like to review the spatial requirements
context together and determine the necessary infrastructure.
The future library / media unit at ZMT. Together we would like to discuss the future requirements for the library and their spatial implementation.

In the second half of 2023, as part of Service Phase 1 of the HOAI (acronym for Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure - Honorarium regulations for architects and engineers) the basic assessment is carried out with a review of the cost framework by the client and, as part of Service Phase 2, the preliminary planning with cost estimates. The plans for the new building are continuously developed - always with the cost framework in mind. Decision documents are prepared for submission.
15/01/2024
In January, the final submission of the decision document ES-Bau and the release of the ES-Bau with savings specifications for the design document EW-Bau take place

16/08/2024
A workshop is held on the digitalisation strategy in which prioritised modules are developed for the operation of the new building (Priority 1 modules: e.g. digital registration terminal, IoT sensors, booking system, dynamic energy management, keyless entry, FM management cockpit, laboratory intralogistics; Priority 2 modules: e.g. beacons, preventive smart FM; Priority 3 modules: Indoor navigation, digital door signs, etc.)
19/08/2024
The project “Alliance Circular Economy in Construction of the Metropolitan Region Northwest” is launched. It aims to promote reuse and recycling in the construction industry along the entire value chain.
The central challenge here is to create a structure that brings together the interests of all those involved in construction and to establish a cooperation alliance in order to make the metropolitan region a pioneer for climate-friendly construction. The ZMT could be a project pilot under certain financial conditions.
