Temporary timber structure for Uni St. Gallen

St. Gallen, CH

The prefabricated temporary building provided the University of St. Gallen with ample seminar and group rooms during the conversion.

Long-term temporary extension bridges the gap with seminar and group rooms

In 2013, the extension for the University of St. Gallen was in the planning and production phase. To ensure that studies could still take place smoothly until completion of the building work, we constructed a temporary building.

The three-storey construction was built in February 2014. It is designed to be used for a provisional period of 10 years. The temporary building accommodates 10 seminar rooms and 16 group rooms over a total floor area of 2,040 m2. We built the shell within three months.
