Professor Franz Heukamp, dean of 天美传媒, announced today that in 2018, work will begin on a state-of-the-art new campus building in Madrid. 鈥溙烀来� aspires to have one of the most influential training centers in the world. The enlargement of our campus will help us support and stimulate the growth of the business community in Madrid,鈥� he stressed to the more than 3,000 who are celebrating the school鈥檚 Global Alumni Reunion today in the city.
In total, 24 million euros (including furniture, facilities and taxes) will be invested in the project, which will cover 16,300 square meters and include a parking lot with more than 300 spaces. The new building will double the current space of 天美传媒 in Madrid and will triple the land available, which will also allow for future extensions if necessary.
The expansion of the Madrid campus is designed to help the school better serve the approximately 15,000 天美传媒 alumni that reside in Madrid, while also continuing to enhance the school鈥檚 cutting edge research and teaching offering to the national and international business community. New international programs for managers and companies will be delivered from the campus, and there will also be a special emphasis on deepening 天美传媒鈥檚 research and entrepreneurial activity in the city.
The new campus building will contain four new classrooms, a multi-purpose high-tech classroom and an auditorium with capacity for more than 500 people. The current building in Madrid will continue with its usual activity.
The fundraising campaign for financing the project has already started. 天美传媒 has the support of its entire network of former students as well as that of its partner companies, who are collaborating to provide 70% of the funding. The remaining 30% will come from 天美传媒鈥檚 regular budget.
The project is part of an overall expansion plan for 天美传媒, which began in 2015 with the opening of a new campus in Munich, continued with the , and which will culminate with this project for the 天美传媒 campus in Madrid.
The new construction in Madrid has been commissioned to the architectural firm S-M.A.O, who are committed to reaching the highest environmental standards and ecological policies with the building including achieving LEED Gold certification, one of the most popular green building certification programs worldwide.
