The LSQC represents a pioneering approach to the construction of laboratory and office buildings. The building combines timber and concrete construction methods in an innovative way in order to make optimum use of the respective advantages of the materials and to promote sustainable construction.<\/p>\n
Design features and choice of materials<\/strong><\/p>\n The LSQC is designed as a timber-concrete hybrid building, whereby the materials are consistently separated in their application. While on the one hand the open working environments for theoretical work are made purely of wood, the robust and highly resilient laboratory areas for experimental work are made of concrete. The timber skeleton structure uses local beech, which serves as a heavy-duty material for supports and long-span beam systems.<\/p>\n Innovations in timber construction<\/strong><\/p>\n A particular innovation in timber construction is the new type of hollow chamber ceilings, which are designed to be \u201cmodulable\u201d in height. These lightweight ceiling systems offer high rigidity and load-bearing capacity. The stepped height arrangement of the ceiling elements ensures efficient and adaptable installation – even in the event of future changes.<\/p>\n In addition, the plywood panels perforated on the underside have a dual function: they contribute statically to increasing the tensile load-bearing capacity and improve the room acoustics thanks to their sound-absorbing effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The LSQC represents a pioneering approach to the construction of laboratory and office buildings.
