Administration 4.0: New work environments for the Kirchheim/Teck city administration 

Since all of its administrative buildings were in need of renovation, the city used the opportunity to test a concept for new work environments. 
As part of a major pilot project, 45 workplaces were relocated to a former factory building in the Otto Ficker precinct. The New Work Drees & Sommer experts supported the city with the design and implementation of the new work and office environment.

A concept based on the principle of the multi-space office was created for the newly leased 1,000 square meter space. The pilot project in the OF precinct is one of the first successfully implemented public sector projects with modern work environments and a new concept for interaction with the public.
