Vienna University of Technology – Getreidemarkt

Project objectives

As part of the Austrian federal government’s general renovation package for the renewal of universities, the buildings on the ‘Getreidemarkt‘ site are being fundamentally renovated for the Vienna University of Technology.

Project description

The existing buildings were refurbished in sections and continued to be used as laboratories and office buildings. These measures included general refurbishments, functional adjustments, adaptations as well as structural, interior and technical building equipment alterations. Additionally, the building shells were thermally refurbished. The construction costs totalled around EUR 90 million. Despite the city centre location and ongoing operations, the circulation areas, escape routes, fire brigade and delivery zones remained usable. Limited access roads, storage areas and parking facilities required just-in-time logistics. Specialised transport with crane erection on public land was necessary. Historical building sections were renovated with the Federal Monuments Office. Building BA is a plus-energy building with Austria’s largest façade-integrated photovoltaic system.

Project data

The renovation currently includes 7 buildings (BB, BD, BZ, BE, BI/BK, BA, BF, as well as the outdoor infrastructure).

Services
