Process management for flexible spaces at the gasworks in Augsburg
Multiplicities is managing the strategy development for new flexible spaces on the Gaswerk site in Augsburg (Germany). The aim is to create several 100 square metres of creative and office space for new forms of work, workshops, studios, music rehearsal rooms and micro-restaurants.
The Gaswerk will be revitalised and activated by creative entrepreneurs. New jobs are being created. Initial cost calculations and user surveys are carried out on the basis of a strategy analysis using inspiring reference projects. Gaswerk Labs integrate users and neighbours and thus gradually ensure acceptance and participation. From 2021, flexible spaces have been set up and made usable.
