Stätte für Kunst-, Kultur- und Gestaltschaffende, Wuppertal
Successful crisis management
Delays, cost increases and quality deficiencies were the reason why DU was involved in the project during the current construction phase. In co-operation with ’Wuppertal GmbH’ (ltd.) as developer, the department for culture for the city of Wuppertal as user, and ’Kolkmannhaus BG’ as tenant, the project targets with regard to time and costs could be defined and maintained until the completion of the project.
The protected monumental facade of the historic building was safeguarded during gutting. The building was statically reinforced and converted to be used for galleries, offices and the music school. For this, a music and event hall with raised floor loading for the attic floor was built on the reinforced construction. For the ground floor, a catering operator could be contracted, also commissioned by DU as general contractor.
The creation of the final report of expenditure of funds, according to pubic law, was made on the basis of DU’s transparent cost monitoring. In 2000, the result of the project was officially inaugurated in a ceremony with the delivery of the extended restaurant and catering business. The coherent cultural overall concept contributes to the enhancement of the central city location and has become an attraction in the city area of Wuppertal.
