The Max Planck Campus in Martinsried

Information regarding the Campus development and associated construction projects

After more than 50 years of intensive use, the existing buildings of the two Max Planck Institutes in Martinsried, for Biological Intelligence and for Biochemistry are showing their age. In the long term, the buildings are no longer suitable for the modern, future-oriented and flexible requirements of scientific research. Furthermore, the current climatic, structural and legal requirements cannot be economically implemented in the course of a renovation.

For these reasons, a new Max Planck Campus is to be built with a focus on the flexibility and functionality of the new research buildings for science, as well as on sustainability in the construction and subsequent operation of the buildings.

With the generous support from the Free State of Bavaria, a campus is to be created that will further consolidate and expand Martinsried's leading position as a hotspot for innovative life science research.

On these pages, we will keep you up to date on the campus development of the two institutes and associated projects.

Project Data Center

Alongside the development of the new campus for the two institutes, the Max Planck Society (MPG) is planning a new, overarching data centre for all Max Planck Institutes on the Martinsried site. This data center is being built and financed by the MPG and operated by the Max Planck Computing and Data Facility (MPCDF).
