The Helmholtz Center Munich has selected HDR TMK to design the new Center of Integrated Diabetes Research in Germany. The four-story facility will include more than 50,000 sf of space dedicated to multidisciplinary diabetes research. HDR TMK will provide architectural, laboratory planning, and contract administration services for the approximately $41.6 million building. The BSL-2 life sciences center will facilitate basic research, translational research, epidemiology, and clinical applications as they relate to diabetes. Completion is expected in spring of 2016. The Helmhotz Center Munich (Helmholtz Zentrum München) is the German Research Center for Environmental Health.
