Groundbreaking ceremony for new FH Health Campus Kapfenberg

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.
