At the construction site of the future Meduni Campus Mariannengasse of the MedUni Vienna, roof equations were celebrated. After completion, the inner -city large -scale construction project will be a state -of -the -art location for medical research and teaching.
For the Medical University of Vienna, the Federal Immobilien Society is building a climate -friendly university campus for around 2,000 students and 750 employees: inside. On a usable area of around 35,000 m², pre -clinical facilities of the MedUni Vienna are previously scattered at the new location and state -of -the -art space for teaching and research is created.
Yesterday afternoon, together with the MedUni Vienna and the responsible construction companies, the roof equations of the main building field (component 1-4) celebrated. The same celebration for components 5 and 6 took place at the beginning of last year. The managing director of the Federal Immobillery Society Christine Dornaus and the rector of the MedUni Vienna Markus Müller presented the executing construction companies, Gerstl Bau, Porr and Strabag, the traditional symbolic equal money.
“A functioning infrastructure is an essential basis for top scientific achievements in the university area, especially in medicine. My declared goal is to create the best possible framework conditions in the areas of research and teaching. The new campus of the Medical University of Vienna in the heart of Vienna in Mariannengasse will play a central role in this by creating optimal and contemporary infrastructures. And training environment will also also benefit from patients, which of course is particularly pleased to me, “says Martin Polaschek, Federal Minister of Education, Science and Research, about the large -scale construction project.
“With the MedUni Campus Mariannengasse we are building a location with which the top level of medical research and teaching in Vienna is still secured in the future, and a modern training center for future doctors. A modern campus ensemble in combination is created in the densely expanded urban area As a federal real estate company, we can lead to this inpentable, inner -city construction site, “says BIG Management Christine Dornaus
“With the MedUni Campus Mariannengasse, we realize our goal of an integrated pre-clinic campus near the MedUni Campus AKH. This closer strengthens the interdisciplinary exchange and accelerates the transfer of knowledge from basic research into clinical practice and training, ”explains Meduni-Vienna Rector Markus Müller. “By bundling resources, we also expect higher efficiency and an increased scientific output for the MedUni Vienna.”
“The architectural design of the state -of -the -art infrastructure was specifically geared towards networking separate research areas and promoting cooperation. In this way we create optimal conditions for research and teaching at the highest international level and in the long term ensure our top position in medical training and research. My special thanks go to the construction companies involved and all builders who implement this future -oriented project with their commitment and specialist knowledge. ”
About the MedUni Campus Mariannengasse
With the ensemble of historical existing buildings that are preserved and renovated, and a new building is created in the 9th Vienna district in the immediate vicinity of the existing locations of the MedUni Vienna, a state -of -the -art campus for medical research and teaching. Architectural business card for the campus is a 70 -meter -long structured facade flowing into the urban context with identity -creating large -scale glass elements along the Spitalgasse.
Three large lecture halls are arranged in the base zone of the main building, further seminar and practice rooms are on the first and second floor. There are also residence areas and learning zones for the students. The areas for research are housed in the third to seventh floor. As a link between old and new, the cafeteria is located on the ground floor of the listed existing building. A publicgoing from Spitalgasse (Altes AKH) towards Lazarettgasse (AKH Vienna) is created across the campus. General planner is an ARGE from Delugan Meissl Associated Architects and Architecture Consult.
On the total of 35,000 m² of usable space, previously scattered pre -clinical facilities of the MedUni Vienna are merged and connected with modern infrastructure for teaching. Around 750 employees are moving: inside of the centers for physiology and pharmacology, for anatomy and cell biology, for pathobiochemistry and genetics, for medical physics and biomedical technology as well as the Center for Cancer Research from their previous jobs on the new campus. Around 2,000 students will complete their courses there, learn and spend time.
Data & facts about the large -scale construction project:
Using area: 35,000 m²
At peak times, almost 500 construction workers were on site at the same time
Over 40 construction/expansion/house technology trades are commissioned until completion
Start university company: winter semester 2027/2028
At the Meduni Campus Mariannengasse, a long -distance cold center of the Vienna Energy is also being built, which supplies the entire campus and areas of the neighborhood with sustainable long -distance cold. It is heated by district heating, which is partly generated from the waste heat of the long -distance cold center.
