The fact that this will be possible despite the delays on the building site due to corona-related restrictions is a major achievement by all planners, engineers and construction workers involved in the project. In particular, the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning is doing everything it can to allow the necessary tests for the complex building technology systems to be conducted in good time by the assessors. These tests are mandatory before permission for use can be issued. This means that the Humboldt Forum will not be opened until December 2020. Naturally, this is dependent on whether or not further restrictions are put in place due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><em>The complete press release is available for download below<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
