Groundbreaking ceremony for new FH Health Campus Kapfenberg

The ground-breaking ceremony on 20.03.2024 sealed the deal. From 2025, students will be able to study "Healthcare and Nursing" at the new FH-JOANNEUM Health Campus in Kapfenberg. When fully operational, there will be space for around 220 students.

The start of construction on the site of the existing primary school/ polytechnic was celebrated in the best spring weather. Governor Christoph Drexler, Deputy Governor Anton Lang, Provincial Councillor MMag.a Eibinger-Miedl, the Mayor of Kapfenberg Friedrich Kratzer, the management of FH JOANNEUM and many other guests of honor were present.

“The new healthcare campus in Kapfenberg is of great importance for future healthcare and nursing care in Styria. I am therefore very pleased that our prudent financial policy in recent years has given us the leeway we need to implement such projects,” said Styrian Provincial Governor Christoph Drexler. The total gross costs amount to around 23.5 million euros and will be borne by the province of Styria. The new campus will be ready for use in the winter semester of 2025, when studies will begin.

The architectural design was created by NOW Architektur ZT GmbH from Graz, and the project is being implemented by the total contractor Granit.

Thomas Lorenz ZT GmbH was commissioned by FH-JOANNEUM to provide project management, procedural support and “light” local construction supervision services for this project.

Trial operation phase clinic Oberwart starts!

At the end of August 2023, the Oberwart Clinic was structurally completed, and now the gradual commissioning of the new focus hospital will begin. On 15.9. the project was presented to media representatives.

The construction time for the largest building construction project in Burgenland to date was around 3.5 years. Completion of the outdoor facilities is progressing on schedule, with finalization scheduled for mid-November 2023.

Test operations are currently underway, during which large-scale equipment and the complex building technology of the new 26,500 m² building are being tested and calibrated.

The handover to the operator, Gesundheit Burgenland, is scheduled for February 2024. According to Governor Doskozil, the new hospital will be opened to the public just 1-2 months later. Visitors should be able to form their own impression of the architecturally particularly successful modern clinic. The pursued goal of creating the most pleasant environment possible for patients was visibly achieved.

The relocation from the neighboring old building and the commissioning phase are then scheduled for final completion at the end of May 2024 – around 1 month ahead of the originally planned date.

Together with Moser Architects ZT GmbH, Thomas Lorenz ZT GmbH as general ÖBA succeeded in keeping not only the construction time but also the budget despite the adverse circumstances of the last years.
