Fraunhofer MEVIS Moves to Spectacular New Building

Finally, another eye-catcher: The new building on campus for the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Medicine MEVIS is about to be completed. The brilliant white building amazes with its arched lines, organic curves, and an asymmetric layout. 

Responsible for the building that is very harmonic despite all its irregularities is the architectural office Haslob Kruse and partners. The three interwoven buildings imitate cell structures. It is an artistic device, both charming and felicitous, given that the construction thus reflects one of the main fields of work at MEVIS, the visualization of human body cells and their possibly pathological changes to improve medical diagnostics and therapy. It is supposed to become a workshop for digital medicine. The Bremen-based institute of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is among the most renowned research institutions of its kind: At four sites in Bremen, Lübeck, Berlin and Aachen, MEVIS develops innovative software systems to help doctors in their work routines – from heart diagnostics to tumor therapy to big data analyses for large-scale clinical studies. The move into the new building, which holds space for 150 employees plus sixty research assistants, doctoral candidates, or guest scientists, can begin in mid-April. The construction costs of about fifteen million Euro were split three ways by the federal government, the state of Bremen, and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
