German term

Technikum

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
Context:

"Den Unternehmen stehen insgesamt 10.575 m² hochwertiger Fläche für chemische, mikrobiologische und physikalische Laboratorien, Werkstätten, Büros und als Technikum zur Verfügung."

Is a Technikum a storage area for technical materials then? Or am I barking up the proverbial?
Proposed translations (English)
3 Technical college /
4 +3 pilot plant
5 pilot plant/small scale prduction
4 technological rooms

Technical college /

thus by extension training grounds / area. That's what the Oxford/Duden says, so does Collins, and I have heard this used here in the TU. So I guess it may be be a training laboratory.

agree Julie Neill, BA (Hons), MCIL, MITI : or Technical University/University of Technology

Not sure I'd put it as high as a University, but thanks all the same
disagree Edith Kelly : Sorry, never mind the Oxford, if you look at the Technikum der Versuchs-und Lehranstalt für Brauen in Berlin, that's just part of a college and certainly no University. So also disagree with Julie.

technological rooms

I wouldn't limit those rooms to the purpose of storage.

neutral Edith Kelly : No, these are *learning* facilities.

Thanks Martin.
agree Niamh Mahony : I really think Edith's answer "pilot plant" is correct. There's a good explanation on the Zibo CHEMET Equipment Co.,Ltd. site at corrosion.363.net/lab.htm

Thanks Niamh but if asker has no idea what a Technikum is, any answer will do. As you can read in the rating, asker just picked something. It's too late anyway, but thanks all the same.

pilot plant/small scale prduction

A technikum in Bayer AG terms is a plant that can produce small scale specialities or a pilot plant for scaling up processes.
It normally has all the mod-cons to measure and record reaction dynamics et.
