Built in the 1960s, the Tierpark administration building was saved from demolition after a period of vacancy by a 2019 refurbishment of the building envelope. It now consists of prefabricated insulated timber panel elements that connect to the existing frame structure. The existing facade was scanned in 3D to enable the new facade elements to fit exactly. The new timber fassade is much lighter than the original sandwich elements thus avoiding the need for additional structural works. In the course of the renovation, the building services were also renewed, while the interior fittings from the period of construction were retained. The administration building stands as an example of resource-conserving refurbishment, which represents a sustainable, resource-conscious and economical alternative to demolition and new construction.
