Where once there was a green underground car park roof, new premises have been created for the KUK. Statically not so easy, especially since the existing garage was not designed for this.

Another special feature is the “JKU medSPACE” – a 9 m high black box in which the anatomy of the human body can be experienced virtually in 8K and 3D. The new centre for teaching, research and administration is designed for around 2,000 people and cost around 105 million euros.

The building costs were raised by the province of Upper Austria, the running budget of the faculty is financed by the federal government.

Thomas Lorenz ZT GmbH was responsible for the structural design.

In the route network there are countless historic supporting structures that make the heart of many a person beat faster. These are subject to ongoing bridge inspections and rehabilitation as needed.

Last week, the rehabilitation work on the riveted steel truss structure of the “Kainachbrücke Bahn km 35.740” near Bärnbach entered the home stretch.

Under the protection of an assembly and safety scaffold, structural parts were blasted, rivets replaced and KO protection added.

Of course, the whole thing happened while the railway was running.

Over the past few months, the hotel has been completely gutted, remodeled and expanded. Just over a month ago, people were still bevelling, concreting, hammering and nailing.

Thomas Lorenz and team supported the structural design towards the end of the project. With combined forces the opening date could be kept.
