Real space for virtual worlds: IT and media technology in Adlershof
Adlershof offers three centres for information technology and media with a total of 13,400 m² of usable area. Companies and start-ups have access to attractive hardware and software development rooms with flexible rental units that are connected to Adlershof's high-performance network.
The Centre for IT and Media I (ZIM I) at Albert-Einstein-Strasse 14 is an eight-storey office building divided into two halves by a full-height atrium. These rest on V-shaped columns arranged in pairs, giving the impression that the building is floating. An additional spatial experience is created by three ellipsoidal areas suspended in the atrium, which are used for meetings. Right next door at Albert-Einstein-Strasse 16, ZIM II offers flexible rental units from 40 to 1,000 m² on a total area of 5,000 m².
ZIM III is located in the street Am Studio 2-2a. Its façade is characterised by staggered loggias, which lead into open communication areas inside and are colourfully designed. It offers a total of 5,400 m² of rental space.
