Vector Informatik large-scale kitchen, Stuttgart

project description:

When BARiT installed the first complete floor construction in the canteen kitchen area for the new staff restaurant of the Stuttgart-based company Vector Informatik in the attic in 2002, the tightness as well as hygiene were the main focus of the client. Based on the experience gained, the client decided to use the same BARiT kitchen floor as well as the same floor construction in the 900 sqm canteen kitchen area of his office and administration building in Stuttgart Weilimdorf, which was newly opened in early 2016. For the client, the architects Schmelzle and Partner from Hallwangen as well as for the canteen kitchen specialist planning, the engineering group IGW Walter from Stuttgart, the tightness of the floor construction was the main focus. A building authority approved complete system with upper composite sealing as well as a jointless kitchen floor as a top layer round off the BARiT system.

In 2017, the Vector IT CAMPUS was awarded the DGNB Platinum certificate and received the DGNB Diamond for outstanding architecture with special design and building culture quality. It is thus the first and only building in the world to combine both awards. In 2019, the project was also recognised as "exemplary" (Beispielhaftes Bauen Stuttgart 2015-2019). Events with more than 200 visitors can be held simultaneously in the new auditorium and seminar area. Up to 1,500 meals a day are served in the staff restaurant.
