At the invitation of Katrin Lompscher, senator for urban development and housing, the topping-out ceremony for the new research building designed by Nickl & Partner Architekten AG at Humboldt University in Berlin-Adlershof was celebrated on 13 July 2017 in the presence of the mayor, Michael Müller, and the university president, Professor Sabine Kunst.

In his welcoming address, mayor Michael Müller emphasised the importance of the research building for Berlin as a centre of science. “With support from state and federal government, a building with an innovative research concept is being erected here for Humboldt University that symbolically represents the dynamic of the Adlershof area and science in Berlin as a whole. By expanding the research infrastructure, we are also investing in the development of our city. Its future will be substantially shaped by science, research and innovation.”
