Spread over a 7-hectare plot north of Magdeburg, the new LKA building will offer 20,000 square meters of office space and another 3,500 square meters for labs. Approximately 700 employees are expected to fit comfortably in the structure.

Earlier construction-related tasks have already been executed, such as geological surveys, measurement projects, and archaeological investigations. The budget remains elusive, but it's speculated that the project could demand several hundred million euros.
