Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. EBS Center in Graz, Austria by AllesWirdGutDecember 14th, 2020 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: AllesWirdGut The new building of the EBS Center on the Graz University of Technology’s Inffeld grounds marks a kind of starting and end point. As a figurative punctuation mark, the built volume was articulated as a free-standing complex. The Center’s distinctive six-story east-side façade provides the urban front facing the campus. Gradated building heights descending toward plinth level make for a gentle transition to the surrounding green areas and the small-scale built neighborhood. The complex is structured into lab and research facilities, and above them, a block building used for offices. Its compact internal core with a stairwell and adjacent side rooms makes for short distances. Informal meeting booths offer privacy and add to the circulation areas. While the office spaces on the upper floors are organized in a U-shape around the building core, the communication zones are conceived as an expansion of the internal circulation areas and oriented toward the green vegetation outside.

For this was the first time that a project was developed as an Open BIM project with involvement of all specialist planners from the very start. In this way, an exceptionally detailed plan was available already at an early project stage. Period. Exclamation point! With the Electronic Based Systems Center, Graz University of Technology TU Graz breaks new ground in technology transfer and runs a research & innovation center in the sphere of sensor technology and microelectronics. Half of the building is preferentially dedicated to university start-ups as well as to small and medium enterprises. The other half is used by the TU Graz Faculty of Electrical and Information Engineering with special focus on the research fields electronics, sensor technology, and microwave and photonic engineering.

For the first time, TU Graz, the Austrian Province of Styria and BIG, the Federal Authority for Public Real-estate, commonly engage in the establishment of a building. Research co-operations with the industry as well as technology transfer in the future field microelectronics can be concentrated in one location on university campus. The EBS Center is therefore supported with public funds from European Union (EFRE) and from the Province of Styria.
