Topping-out ceremony with Peter-Jürgen Schneider, finance minister of Lower Saxony, at the lectern

70 invited guests attended the topping out ceremony for the automotive technology faculty’s new laboratory and seminar building in Wolfsburg. Nickl & Partner Architekten AG designed the new building. It increases faculty space by 2,000 square metres and will be used for state-of-the-art laboratory facilities.

The building includes a 17 m high drop tower, where collision simulations can be carried out with the support of high-resolution cameras. At 17 metres, the drop tower rises above the building and is sure to be impressive. Other technical highlights include a 1:4 scale wind tunnel and an advanced all-wheel dynamometer.

The €15 million investment is evidence of the importance of automotive technology in Wolfsburg. Good study conditions are a prerequisite for successful research and ensure the prominent position of vehicle engineering in Wolfsburg.
