Medical University Graz Med Campus Graz, Austria

With the greatest possible consideration of urban development requirements, the project implements an ensemble of clearly structured and coherent building bodies. On the one hand, due to its characteristic appearance, it offers the potential for identification within the urban context whilst, on the other hand, an interesting interplay between built areas and free spaces and between public and private use, results from the sophisticated structure of the volumes.

The most important characteristic of the concept is the integration of work, teaching and leisure rooms in a common site. Openness, accessibility and communication are of paramount importance. The range of uses to be implemented in the context of the project reaches partially beyond the classical concept of a campus, be it with regard to natural sciences and associated requirements for medical research activities or due to members of the public inevitably coming in from the outside.
