The refurbishment of the listed station building in Bernau combines the preservation of historic architecture with the requirements of a contemporary railway station. The project focuses on energy efficiency, improved passenger experience and the integration of modern building services.
Historic station buildings are more than transport infrastructure—they shape the identity of a place and define the first impression for travellers. The refurbishment of the listed station building in Bernau aims to carefully preserve its architectural heritage while upgrading the facility to meet contemporary functional, technical and energy performance standards. The project includes the comprehensive refurbishment of the main station building and its adjacent structures, with a strong emphasis on improving the passenger experience. Modernised technical systems, enhanced fire safety measures and a newly created waiting area within a former commercial unit contribute to a more welcoming and future-oriented station environment. The project is delivered using a fully integrated BIM workflow that brings together architecture, structural engineering, building services, power supply systems and communication technologies within a shared digital planning model. This coordinated approach supports efficient interdisciplinary collaboration and provides a reliable foundation for the successful delivery of a complex refurbishment project in a listed building.
