Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden: Start of construction work
Following completion of the special civil engineering work for its pile foundations, construction of the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden started in July 2009.
In a second construction phase, the center will be directly connected with the existing biology innovation center (BiOZ). For the Technische Universität Dresden, the future user of the building, this represents an expansion of the research facilities as part of the Biopolis-Dresden program for stem cell and regeneration research.

The complex is divided into a northern and southern laboratory wing; these are accessed from a connecting building containing a foyer, communication areas and a lecture hall.
The foyer spans a 2-floor framework construction into which seminar rooms are integrated. The basement, which extends under all parts of the building complex and part of the future courtyard, will accommodate the entire area required for keeping animals used in research.
KREBS+KIEFER Dresden was responsible for the structural design of the entire complex in the preliminary planning to execution planning phases as well as for the design and authorization planning of the construction pit shoring.
The research center is expected start operating in early 2011.
