University Campus IT:U Linz

Werner Sobek has been tasked with structural engineering duties for a collection of new university buildings at IT:U (Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria) in the St Magdalena district of Linz. The design for the project was produced by Viennese architectural firm Kronaus Mitterer Architekten.

Structural Plans for a Sustainable Campus

Upon completion, the development will consist of an ensemble of linear buildings measuring up to four storeys in height that are connected together to form something of a network of structures on campus. The project’s material palette predominantly comprises prestressed concrete, timber and timber-concrete hybrid constructions. Recycled concrete will also be used to reflect the sustainable focus of the beautiful architectural design.
