The new DKFZ building on the campus of the University Hospital in Dresden will combine various areas of basic oncological research and cancer prevention on five floors and approx. 1,500 m² of floor space in construction phase 1 and around 1,000 m² of floor space in construction phase 2. The building will house the National Cancer Prevention Center and the BioBank Dresden in close cooperation with German Cancer Aid. The focus will be on the development and validation of innovative technologies for cancer prevention and diagnostics, with a focus on bioengineering, robotics, artificial intelligence and decentralized digital devices.
The research building will include various highly specialized laboratories and research rooms that require state-of-the-art technical infrastructure. These include a bioengineering and robotics control laboratory, where innovative processes such as 3D printing of living cells and the development of smart sensors and robotics technologies for oncology will be investigated. New materials for cancer prevention are researched in a physico-chemical analysis laboratory, while the chemistry laboratory focuses on the development of smart materials for medical applications. Other specialized laboratories include an optical imaging lab with vibration-reduced foundations and active optical tables as well as an S1 laboratory for evaluating patient samples.
In addition, a prevention outpatient clinic will be set up, which is part of the National Cancer Prevention Center and is of great importance both for scientific research and for practical application in cancer prevention. This specialized infrastructure places high demands on the technical building equipment, which is implemented in close coordination with the requirements of the research facilities.
The technical building equipment for the first construction phase is currently being implemented. Our services include the planning and implementation of a heat pump with a heating capacity of 120 kW and a cooling capacity of 200 kW, as well as the installation of three central air conditioning systems with a total air volume of 30,000 m³/h. In addition, decentralized systems, including a redundancy system for the biobank, will meet the specific requirements of the research building. Other building services components include a medium-voltage system with an 800 kVA transformer, a 350 kW emergency power system, two central UPS systems and a 35 kWp PV system.
In addition, the integration of BOS radio and fire alarm systems, redundant cooling for the server room and a modern data infrastructure (Cu Cat. 7 and fiber optics) ensure reliable technical equipment.
