The new construction of the diagnostics building for bacteriology and virology of the medical department of the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich is planned as a quiet, cubic structure with five floors along Marchioninistraße in Munich-Großhadern and is located on the same construction site as our LMU ICON project.

The diagnostic design provides for a laboratory building that is as flexible as possible, which on the one hand reflects the specific and sometimes quite different requirements of the two departments that use it and on the other hand offers the most robust and flexible building structure possible for future laboratory uses.

The building is given a continuous, dark façade design in order to strengthen the volume of the structure, especially in relation to the more massive neighboring buildings. The number of floors can be read through a strict facade grid.
