The facility is set to play a key role in the education and training of students, graduates and engineers who will contribute to remanufacturing knowledge over the coming decades.

Over the past two months, the staff of 40 engineers as well as machinery and equipment has been moved from the nearby Bayreuth University campus to the new building.

The new building comprises 1,000 sq m office space for a staff of 50, 850 sq m workshops and laboratories as well as a number of storage rooms, teaching facilities and meeting rooms.
