Project Report - Potsdam-Golm University

Potsdam-Golm University has become one of the foremost research establishments in Brandenburg, Germany. The new IKMZ - Information, Communication and Media Centre is another addition to the campus. With its striking façade of printed glass and dark natural stone, this new building designed by Berlin-based architects Staab clearly stands out against its surroundings – like a giant meteorite! Except for the few large windows of the reading room, the façade appears to be a largely unbroken black envelope. For the elegant façade they specified Airtec Stone and Airtec Glass, Lithodecor’s lightweight ventilated rainscreen cladding system.
