The Sparkasse bank in Trier has been renovated to create modern, light workspaces in contemporary surroundings, helping the company become an even more attractive employer in the region. Work on the building located on Theodor-Heuss-Allee started in 2021 and is scheduled to be completed in 2025, in time for the company’s 200th anniversary.
Multi-purpose rooms have been created to foster communication, fuel teamwork and facilitate focused work. To meet the high acoustic and design requirements, partition walls, room-in-room modules and acoustic systems – all provided by Strähle – were the solution of choice. Customers coming in for advice can make use of the ten closed cubes from the Kubus range and three quick consultation stations that have been installed on the ground floor. The new open-space design lets plenty of natural light in and its modern features are pleasing to the eye – all while maintaining confidentiality through the use of noise barriers and privacy screens. The employee workstations are located on the upper floors. The offices have been partitioned using the System 7400 glass acoustic wall – a combination of glazing and soundproofing elements – meaning that the spaces can be flexibly adapted to changing user requirements without the need for extensive building work. The design features 600 linear metres of glass acoustic wall and more than 1,000 absorber elements, with 150 additional freestanding absorbers rounding off the acoustic concept.
The double-glazed System 2000 partition wall system has been used in zones requiring greater sound insulation in the office area, as well as an additional 225 linear metres of the single-glazed System 3400.
