The Siemens Campus Modul 2, located in Erlangen, Germany, stands as a testament to modern architectural excellence. Designed by KSP Engel and finalized in 2022, this project introduces a unique architectural concept centred around sustainable wood hybrid construction. The integration of steel-concrete and wood elements not only embodies innovative and sustainable architecture but also serves as the cornerstone of the world's first CO2-neutral Siemens facility. A Kvadrat Acoustics solution was installed to enhance acoustic environment and support the decision to include sustainable building components.

KSP Engel placed particular emphasis on selecting CO2-effective building materials for both the exterior and interior. Consequently, KSP Engel chose to incorporate a Kvadrat Acoustics solution in the Siemens Campus Modul 2 auditorium, comprising Soft Cells panels with various acoustic configurations.

The Kvadrat Acoustics solution played a significant role in the auditorium, where precise acoustic control was essential. This comprehensive solution utilized a variety of acoustic products to establish an ideal acoustic environment, addressing reverberation control, sound reflection, and ensuring a balanced frequency response. By implementing a Kvadrat Acoustics solution with diverse acoustic configurations, the space achieved optimal sound quality, providing a comfortable and immersive experience for all occupants. While the solution was comprised of various acoustic configurations, the aesthetics and design remained consistent throughout the space.
