A preserved façade, a reimagined purpose – discover how smart renovation turned a former industrial space into a high-performance hub that consumes less, delivers more, and inspires innovation.
Welcome to InGrid, the Schneider Electric Hub that proves sustainability starts with smart choices – not demolition. Once a production facility, now a vibrant center of innovation, InGrid retains its original structure – concrete pillars, skylights, and architectural backbone – while embracing a new logic of operation. It’s a bold statement: thoughtful renovation can unlock extraordinary value.
Instead of building anew, InGrid showcases the power of intelligent transformation. By integrating cutting-edge infrastructure, the building now consumes less energy, simplifies management, and elevates user comfort – all while honoring its industrial heritage.
At the core of InGrid is a digital nervous system. Heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and security are seamlessly connected, monitored, and optimized. The building responds in real time – ramping up when full, scaling down when empty. Daylight complements artificial lighting, and smart algorithms maintain a stable indoor climate. Its modular, open architecture means new technologies can be added effortlessly, keeping the space future-ready.

But InGrid is more than a building – it’s a collaboration hub. It brings together industry, education, and community through workshops, demos, and hands-on testing – from automation to e-mobility. Flexible zones (coworking spaces, classrooms, demo areas) adapt to every need, accelerating innovation and turning ideas into action.
User experience is front and center. Natural light, air quality, acoustics, and ergonomic design support focus and well-being. Smart LED lighting with presence and daylight sensors, plus heat recovery from the data center, make the building feel alive – learning, adjusting, and optimizing itself. The result? Less fatigue, easier maintenance, and technology that works quietly in the background while comfort takes the spotlight.
InGrid’s preserved materials and proportions give it a distinctive identity, while modern installations and signage bring clarity and rhythm. Every design choice serves a purpose – form follows function, and beauty emerges from performance.
This is a space where knowledge flows. Teams test real-world scenarios, partners validate solutions, and visitors witness data-driven decision-making in action. InGrid’s culture of learning and collaboration ensures it stays relevant, agile, and ready to embrace tomorrow’s technologies – without disruptive overhauls.
And perhaps most importantly, InGrid reminds us of a powerful truth: sustainable construction doesn’t always mean new construction. When existing assets are upgraded with intelligence and care, value grows — for users, for the neighborhood, and for the city.
InGrid isn’t just a building. It’s a beacon of smart infrastructure, a reference point for what’s possible when legacy meets innovation. It’s proof that the future can be built on the foundations of the past — efficiently, beautifully, and sustainably.
