Thyssen Krupp leads the way with sustainable HQ

ThyssenKrupp AG, the integrated materials and technology group, opened its new corporate headquarters in Essen, Germany, in presence of the former State Premier of North Rhine-Westphalia, Dr. Jürgen Rüttgers. After a construction period of three years, the ThyssenKrupp Quarter aims to bring together under one roof the company's administrative offices which were previously spread over various sites. One of the highlights of the ThyssenKrupp Quarter is the cube-shaped centerpiece "Q1". Its 50-meters height and its distinctive shape will make it a real attraction for visitors. More than 500 employees will move into their offices here shortly. The offices will use geothermal heating and cooling while heat will be recovered from the waste air and rainwater will be fed to the lake in the neighboring Krupp Park.
