Opel & Stellantis Start 'grEEn Campus' Construction in Rüsselsheim
Opel and Stellantis Germany have begun construction on the 'grEEn campus' in Rüsselsheim, a sustainability project that aligns with a broader European concept. The campus will house the new global Opel headquarters and Stellantis Germany headquarters, along with a research and development center for vehicle design prototypes.
Florian Huettl, CEO of Opel & Vauxhall and Managing Director of Stellantis Germany, expressed his enthusiasm about the project, stating that it contributes to sustainable development in Germany. The campus, developed by VGP in collaboration with Opel and Stellantis, spans approximately 100,000 square meters and includes an administration building, a research and development building, and a parking garage.
The administration building, designed for flexible work and collaborative teamwork, will be a state-of-the-art workspace. The entire campus aims for DGNB Gold certification, reflecting its commitment to sustainability. The building permit was issued by the city authorities, with the support of Mayor Patrick Burghardt and the city council, as part of the approved urban land-use planning. The project focuses on reducing CO2 emissions during construction and using sustainable building materials. The energy supply will come from a photovoltaic system integrated into a green roof, supplemented by a ground-based geothermal system.
The 'grEEn campus' in Rüsselsheim is set to become a model of sustainability, not just for Germany, but for the broader European concept it is part of. With its innovative design, focus on sustainability, and commitment to reducing emissions, the campus is poised to make a significant impact on the automotive industry's environmental footprint.
