The FM department brings together competent scientists and a broad range of expertise on relevant and current topics in facility management. In addition, we maintain close contacts with our partners in research and industry.

Our founding in 2000 was a step toward something new: the first professorship for facility management in Germany. We have remained true to this approach and continue to drive forward new research topics, such as digitalization in facility management. In doing so, we focus on the further development of existing approaches, but also on fresh and creative ideas.

Contact with our colleagues is important to us. That's why we redesigned our office space in 2018 to encourage more interaction among ourselves. Since then, we have also had access to the “thinking room” with a projector, writable wall, and flipchart for regular meetings. In addition, the meeting table in this room can be converted into a table tennis table during lunch breaks, so that the team can also have some fun.

Our research topics are relevant and forward-looking. This is one of the reasons why we work with passion and determination. We pass on the motivation that drives us to our students and, in addition to our courses, organize excursions every semester to demonstrate the practical relevance of our topics.
