The project Suurstoffi construction field 1 provides for the construction of a campus for the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts for the faculties of computer science and economics. It offers space for around 2,000 students and 250 employees. In addition, space will be created for 300 workplaces. The construction project includes three building complexes, whose basement levels are interconnected: Building A is the approx. 60m high university tower with classrooms, library etc. In the 6-story building B, further classrooms, smaller lecture halls and two larger auditoriums are planned. Building C is intended for office use. There are up to three basement levels which accommodate parking garages and technical rooms.
Houses A and C are planned as wood-concrete composite structures consisting of staircase cores with concrete walls and ceilings. The concrete core performs the horizontal stabilizing function of the building. The facade columns and the floor slabs outside the core are designed as wood or wood-concrete composite structures. Building B is constructed entirely in concrete and load-bearing masonry, partly with prestressed hollow core slabs.
