The new data center for the financial administration (RZF) of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia is being built in Kaarst near Düsseldorf, a building complex with an area of around 37,000 square meters.
The new building complex, which is being constructed in collaboration with general contractors ZECH Bau and ICT Facilities, will house not only the data center but also office and meeting rooms, storage and workshop space, a print shop, and a cafeteria. The building concept offers attractive workplaces for financial administration employees. In addition, there will be 370 parking spaces in a parking garage, an outdoor parking area, electric charging stations, and over 250 bicycle parking spaces.
Around 1,000 state employees will work in the building in the future. In the summer of 2024, shortly before the topping-out ceremony, we asked photographer Jo Fober to capture the shell of the building in pictures. You can see the result here.
