University Campus IT:U Linz

Werner Sobek is responsible for the structural design of the new university building IT:U (Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria) in Linz, St. Magdalena. The design comes from the Viennese firm Kronaus Mitterer Architekten.

Supporting Structure for Sustainable University Building

The plan is for an ensemble of buildings consisting of up to four-storey linear structures that are connected to each other in a network. The materials used are prestressed concrete, timber and timber-concrete hybrid constructions. As sustainability is at the forefront of this attractive design, recycled concrete is also to be used.
