By 2030, Siemens plans to build a modern, sustainably designed Siemens Campus on the existing Siemens site on the south side of Erlangen that will have an enduring impact on the cityscape for decades to come. Over 320,000 square meters of new office space, at least 100,000 square meters of new residential space, a hotel with business center and serviced apartments, as well as leisure, sports, restaurant and shopping facilities are to be developed on the Campus site over the next few years.

In an initial selection procedure, Siemens, together with the City of Erlangen, has preselected twelve German firms of architects to take part in the architectural design competition which is now being launched. In early 2015, a panel of judges will reach a verdict on the designs. Following the subsequent development planning process, construction is scheduled to begin at the end of 2016.
