Located in the park of the Bavarian capital, created for the 1972 Olympic games, the campus houses the TUM School of Medicine and Health of the Technical University of Munich. The slogan of the Olympic games, ›Light, freshness and generosity‹ represents also our design. The airy, pavilion-like spacious building made of wood and glass provides a clear layout for the various research, training and sports facilities. Its slender outline – 180 meters long and 150 meters wide – fits sensitively into the master plan of Behnisch & Partner and forms the new, concise address of the Faculties of Medicine, Sports and Health Sciences. The 19 meter cantilever canopy is a unique wooden construction made of prefabricated box girder elements that can be assembled without the need for costly auxiliary scaffolding.
The bright and light construction with a maximum span of 30 meters accommodates sports halls, lecture halls, institutes, offices and diagnostic rooms under one roof.
Sports halls, institute areas and the complete roof structure are built in timber. Timber was chosen to preserve the link between landscape and architecture. Timber construction enables a high degree of prefabrication and thus short assembly times. With the appropriate logistics for planning, production, delivery and assembly, the hall clusters have been set up in just two months.
In addition to wide-span glulam beams, we used hybrid ceilings in wood-concrete composite construction and prefabricated wooden elements for ceilings and walls. The central access axis, bracing staircase cores, lecture hall and climbing hall as well as the basement are designed as reinforced concrete structures.
