Technical University, Delft Why a new building? The new Applied Sciences building of the Technical University in Delft is located at the Southside of the campus. This Southside of the campus is the expansion area for the growth of the university over the next decade. The building houses the Faculty of Applied Sciences. A state-of-the-art building; necessary to continue to perform internationally at the highest level. The building was completed in spring 2016. The new building is used daily by 600 employees and 800 students from TU Delft. Sample text (high level project pitch) STRANDBADKIRCHBICHL is a visionary design project involving the construction of a new office building in a remote mountain region of Austria, with a design which reflected the crashing waves coming in from the nearby beach. Great technical skill and knowledge of interior systems was required in order to optimize lighting, acoustics and sound absorption within a very complex curved shaped structure which would not naturally provide this level of performance. This presentation will also be used on the book and on the website to present your project.

Technical University, Delft Atrium: An atrium area is by function designed as traffic area for people. In this building, there’s a very high attention to serve the well-being of the people that are present in this area: Aesthetic design with very high quality finish Acoustic comfort (reverberation time) controlled with sound absorbing wall-linings Abundant light entry through roof/ceiling Sample text (high level project pitch) STRANDBADKIRCHBICHL is a visionary design project involving the construction of a new office building in a remote mountain region of Austria, with a design which reflected the crashing waves coming in from the nearby beach.

Technical University, Delft Laboratory The laboratory area facilitates students & researchers in their work. In general, there are very high functional demands, e.g. in sound insulation. NANO-technology: A very important high-tech part of the laboratory is dedicated to NANO-technology research. Extreme measures were taken to ensure: Zero vibrations Stable temperature +/- 0,1ºC Sample text (high level project pitch)

Technical University, Delft Key challenges Technical engineering & installation of “vibration free” laboratories Limited time available to install the total Atrium area High quality finishing requirements: e.g. Q4 finish of Atrium ceiling Sample text Acoustics and light are the dominating elements in this project. The challenge was to allow maximal use of natural daylight using an unusually large funnel and integrating artificial lighting to complement natural light. The design however also had to provide an excellent level of acoustic performance in a challenging large open plan structure with high windowed ceilings. In addition to a combination of acoustics, sound absorption and light, there was particular emphasis on architecture and functionality through to the final finishing coating (Q4 surface quality) in order to meet the rigorous project standards.

Technical University, Delft Key achievements Co-engineering and installation of vibration free high-tech laboratories Invention of tailor made solution by prefabricating atrium ceiling Very high quality: aesthetical and technical performance Sample text Project delivered to challenging budget and time schedule Discussion throughout the process with the architect to optimize each design phase. Final result combines high standards for design / aesthetics, acoustic comfort, and optimal levels of natural daylight.
