Opening of Med Campus Graz

With construction costs of around 100 million euros, this flagship project, the new Medical University of Graz, went into full operation as planned after 4 years of construction.

Module 1 was built on an approximately 2.7-hectare construction site in Graz’s Stiftingtal and has around 45,000 m² of gross floor area. An underground parking garage for approximately 115 cars was created in the basement, while the ground floor and first floor serve as teaching areas. The 5 lecture halls in total offer space for around 350-500 attendees, and practice rooms were additionally created for around 2,000 students.

The campus level is also located on the upper floor. Six independent building structures for the individual institutes were created here, which are connected by bridges. Approximately 700 employees of the Medical University work here.

Med Campus Graz was built according to the sustainability criteria of ÖGNI (Austrian Sustainable Real Estate Association) and will achieve the Platinum certification level. This is the highest award according to ÖGNI criteria. This award is unique in Austria for the new construction of a laboratory building.

Thomas Lorenz ZT GmbH, together with Vamed, was responsible for on-site construction supervision and structural verification.
