DI - bull's eye - Revitalisation and extension of Sport Campus Kaiserau/Germany

The Sport Campus Kaiserau is the traditional training camp of the FLVW used by the leading teams in athletics and football. Due to the request for the accommodation of the FIFA WM 2006 teams it was entirely reconstructed and extended. Additionally to the reconstruction and the extension new buildings for the athlets’ house and the center of qualification have been built. The athlets’ house is an upper 4 stars sports hotel with 48 rooms, wellness area and basement garage for 36 vehicles. The qualification center includes an auditory for 240 guests, seminar rooms and an administration area. It was used as the center of press and organisation during the WM 2006.

Apart from being used for the team lodging during the World Cup it was aimed to build a sustainable property to quarter a sport and wellness hotel as well as a meeting and congress center.

The athlets’ house and the qualification center have been built by a general planner simultaneously. During the new building processes the reconstruction of the existing Sport Campus took place based on individually awarded contracts. All three building projects have been subsidized by the federal state NRW and the DFB.

After only 13 months of planning and building the ceremonial opening took place on May 6th, 2006. On June 8th, 2006 the Spanish national team arrived in Kaiserau for the World Cup. According to the Client and the project management not only the project itself was a “bull’s eye”, the Sport Campus Kaiserau became part of the “summer fairy tale 2006”.
