Workshop building at the University of Regensburg

The University of Regensburg is expanding its campus with a new workshop building for the natural sciences. The L-shaped building brings together the previously scattered workshops and storage facilities in one central location. With its exposed concrete facade, the building ties in with the architecture of the 1970s while setting new standards in terms of sustainability and resource conservation.

A central element of the project is the use of Schöck Isolink® C. The fastening anchor, made of glass fiber composite material, enables a virtually thermal bridge-free connection of the facing shell, which could therefore be made thinner and more material-efficient. The corrosion-free materiality of Schöck Isolink® reduces the necessary concrete cover and allows for large-format elements. As a result, the facing shell was realized with a thickness of only 12 cm – instead of the usual 20 to 22 cm.

The building was constructed from 99% recycled concrete, supplemented by plastic hollow bodies in the concrete ceilings to save material. Schöck's innovative fastening solution made a decisive contribution to significantly exceeding the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) and fulfilling the building's sustainability concept.

Architect Rainer Jöst praises the collaboration with Schöck: “Thanks to Schöck Isolink®, we were able to use concrete more sparingly while ensuring the highest quality.” With additional measures such as PV systems, energy-efficient ventilation technology, and biodiversity roofs, the workshop building meets the highest standards of sustainability and quality of life.
