ÖBB Training Campus St. Pölten – New Building

Project objectives

Construction of a new training campus for the ÖBB

Project description

In recent years, a training campus has been built on the site of the TS plant in St. Pölten, with which the ÖBB Group is centralising all railway-specific, operational and technical training courses at a new, modern location. The new building consists of a main building with seminar rooms, accommodation and catering areas as well as track and training halls.

Project data

Total new education campus including accommodation wing 24,656 m² gross floor area, overnight accommodation 11,525 m², seminar and office space 7,090 m² gross floor area, railway-specific rooms 4,702 m² gross floor area, general areas, restaurant and kitchen 3,900 m² gross floor area.

Project specifics

A teaching model hall is being built in which 1:1 models, decommissioned wagons and locomotives and parts, brake pressure stands, pre-heating units and points, etc. will be housed. In addition to this, a separate hall will provide space for simulating evacuations. The main building will accommodate driver simulators (locomotive cabs including hydraulic lifting units) and individual simulators. The green areas and sports facilities will enable the trainees to relax and take time away from their courses. In the track laying hall the apprentices from the neighbouring apprentices’ hostel will learn about laying rails.
