The construction of a new storage facility for the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW) began today with the traditional ground-breaking ceremony in Rostock’s fishing harbour. The building will provide additional capacity for equipment storage and climate-controlled sediment core storage as well as additional workshop space. The construction project has a total volume of around 2.44 million euros and is being realised with funds from the federal and state governments, represented by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space and the Ministry of Science, Culture, Federal and European Affairs of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Completion is scheduled for summer 2026.
