Following a construction period of two years, the Festigungs- und Expansionszentrum (FUX) at Alter Schlachthof in Karlsruhe was ceremoniously inaugurated: "The building was designed for companies that have grown too large for the restricted space of the containers, but do not want to leave the Alter Schlachthof as a beloved neighbourhood and incubation space. Of course, the new building also provides space for companies wishing to become a new part of the Schlachthof community. It is the first building commissioned by Karlsruher Fächer GmbH as the client. Located at the eastern end of the site, it adjoins the city square Messplatz."
