Demolition work to begin in October 2025

First phase of construction to expand the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics to start in fall

Basic neuroscience research has become increasingly diverse in recent decades. For this reason, two extension buildings for the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics will be constructed by the end of 2029. They will be built on land in the northwestern part of the Tübingen research campus.

The construction project will be divided into several phases. Construction of an additional institute building and a high-hygiene laboratory is scheduled to begin in October 2025, with completion planned for the end of 2029.

Demolition work until the end of 2025

Until December 2025, various structures in the northwestern area of the Max Planck Campus in Tübingen will be dismantled and demolished to clear the construction site.

Excavation of the construction pits from 2026

In the first quarter of 2026, work will begin on securing the excavation pits using bored piles and shoring, followed by earthworks for the two new buildings.
