The Facility Management and Construction Planning Team at the BCP Department supports the department’s researchers and faculty in the following areas:
Provision of Workspaces
The team is responsible for providing workspaces to the research groups within the BCP Department. Please contact bau@bcp.fu-berlin.de if you have additional space requirements or need to return a space. The team also assists you in communicating with the Engineering and Utilities Division should new requirements arise regarding existing workspaces.
Coordination of construction projects
Please contact bau@bcp.fu-berlin.de to report any necessary construction or renovation work, providing your contact information and details regarding the specific rooms and construction requests. The team also communicates and coordinates construction and maintenance projects between users and the Engineering and Utilities Division.
The Facility Management, Construction, and Security team also coordinates the department’s ongoing and upcoming major construction projects. In doing so, it supports future users in needs assessment, the development of usage concepts, the formulation of requirements, and the preparation of relocation measures.
Coordination of the BCP Department’s custodial staff
At the BCP Department, the department custodians support you with the following services, for example:
- Changing light bulbs
- Minor installations (e.g., mounting a whiteboard)
- Regular inspection of elevators
- Screening and coordination of external contractors (cleaning, winter maintenance, landscaping)
- Minor repairs or damage reports
- Locking service
- Annual inspection of ladders and steps
- Arranging for scrap disposal and bulky waste
You can find information about custodians for BCP buildings on this wiki.
Access Control System
Freie Universität Berlin is equipping its buildings with an electronic transponder-based access control system. Authorized individuals will receive a transponder upon request. This must be returned to the issuing office upon termination of employment. The loss of a transponder must be reported immediately.

Security, Lock-Up Services, Security Guards
The Engineering and Utilities Division offers a service for certain devices that connects them to the central control room so that appropriate measures can be taken in the event of a malfunction. The team will assist you in developing a procedure protocol and corresponding instructions in collaboration with the Engineering and Utilities Division. Please contact bau@bcp.fu-berlin.de for consultation or to modify existing procedures.
Do you need, for example, additional security guards for events or a locking-up service outside the regular building closing hours? Please provide bau@bcp.fu-berlin.de with the date, duration, location, and a contact person (including contact details) so that the services can be arranged.
Further information on safety officers, first aid providers, and fire safety officers can be found on the BCP buildings wiki.
Sustainability, Energy
The Facility Management team also serves as the point of contact for ideas and measures to improve sustainability and conserve energy at the BCP Department. Do you have suggestions or specific feedback? Please feel free to contact bau@bcp.fu-berlin.de.
Do you no longer need certain equipment or furniture? The team will be happy to inquire with other departments on your behalf to see if the items can be reused within the department.
Since 2025, the FB BCP has been making further efforts to promote sustainability and conserve resources as part of the Green Lab project.
Parent-Child Rooms
A parent-child room allows you to bring your child to work. The rooms are equipped with a play area, seating, and tables and can be used for working or reading while your child plays or sleeps. They also serve as a quiet space for breastfeeding, changing diapers, and feeding.
You can find parent-child rooms at the following locations in the Department of Biology, Chemistry and Pharmacy:
- Königin-Luise-Straße 1/3
- Königin-Luise-Straße 2/4, (Garden House)
- Fabeckstraße 36a
- Altensteinstraße 23A
- Arnimallee 22
On the website of the Dual Career & Family Service at Freie Universität, you will find a list of all parent-child rooms on campus.
Swap Points
Items that are no longer of value to some people can be very useful to others. At the BCP Swap Point, you can place used but well-preserved items on the shelves and take others home.
Items that can be swapped include: Books: fiction, mysteries, children’s books, reference books, self-help guides; stationery, such as folders, pens, paper clips, storage boxes; CDs and games; decorative items, such as candles, vases, and mugs. Food and clothing are not permitted, nor are books containing discriminatory, racist, or sexist content. Items for exchange must be clean and in usable condition. They must not be placed in front of or next to the shelf.
Here are the Swap Points:
- Königin-Luise-Straße 12-16: in the foyer next to the stairs
- Arnimallee 22: to the right of the main entrance toward the lecture halls
- Fabeckstraße 34/36: from the main entrance, take the stairs to the basement, then turn right in front of the coat check

Relocations
Please designate a relocation coordinator from your team.
The following rules apply to the relocation of offices and laboratories:
- Users are responsible for packing their own items; for books and file folders, fill only the bottom of the box (due to heavy weight); laboratory glassware will be packed by the moving company.
- Label boxes and furniture with the destination room number. Please leave cabinets and desks open and leave keys in the locks, if available.
- Attach furniture layout diagrams to the window.
If libraries are moving, the books will be packed by the moving company. Staff members provide instructions and label the boxes with the destination.
