During the renovation and expansion of the listed existing building of MedUni Graz Anatomy, not only was the historical character preserved, but modern teaching and research areas were also created. A new section of the building with a large underground lecture hall and compact teaching and research area now complements the existing structure. The complex construction task required precise planning and innovative solutions in the areas of structural engineering and building physics.
Technical highlights
Sapacious underground lecture hall with skylight
Three-story basement with 12 m deep excavation pit reinforcement
Innovative exhaust air technology for 70 dissection tables… developed as a research project
Highly reinforced concrete structures to ensure accessibility
Acoustic decoupling and acoustic optimization of the lecture halls using simulation
The moment when planning and reality come together in perfect harmony is always a highlight for us as specialist planners. It is all the more gratifying when the first impression in the empty hall is convincing- and the subsequent measurements clearly confirm the targets.
