Site supervision contract awarded for the general refurbishment of U4 in-house; demolition work at the pre-clinical building has begun!

1. December 2023

At Universitätsplatz 4, on the campus of the University of Graz, the new Faculty of Environmental, Regional and Educational Sciences is to be built. Thomas Lorenz is on board as site supervisor. Demolition work on the neighbouring pre-clinical building is also progressing.

The laboratories currently housed in U4 at the Medical University will be relocated to the new Med Campus Graz. Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft is investing around €45 million in the renovation and conversion of the university building, which was built in the 19th century. Among other things, the existing attic storey will be demolished and rebuilt. In addition to the Graz Center of Physics, Thomas Lorenz ZT GmbH has also been commissioned with local site supervision for the general refurbishment of U4. In addition, the structural review services are being provided by the team around Thomas Lorenz. General planning has been commissioned to Architekten Domenig & Wallner ZT GmbH. Just a few minutes’ walk from U4, demolition work is currently underway on the Thomas Lorenz ZT GmbH’s largest project to date, the Graz Center of Physics. Only a few days ago, a “demolition excavator” was delivered and assembled to remove parts of the former pre-clinical building. Fully extended, the demolition excavator’s arm reaches around 30 metres into the air.
