Lorenz Consult won the general planner competition for the general refurbishment of the surgery of the University Hospital Graz already in 2008 as a consortium with the architectural office Markus Pernthaler. Lorenz Consult is especially responsible for the coordination of the GP, the HVACS as well as the statics and structural design.
The renovation began in 2010 and is divided into three construction stages until 2022. The first construction stage - a new building worth around 120 million euros directly adjacent to the existing surgery building - has already been completed. The second construction phase, with an investment of around 60 million euros, consists of the fundamental general refurbishment and expansion of the surgical tower (C wing). "Our targeted measures will enable us to maintain ongoing hospital operations," explains Christian Lorenz. This is also appreciated by the Chairman of the Board, Univ.Prof. Dr. Karlheinz Tscheliessnigg: "We thank Lorenz Consult for their expertise, their understanding and their unbelievable willingness to solve, tackle and get rid of problems".
Clients such as Steiermärkische Krankenanstalten GmbH can rely on Lorenz Consult to provide them with a one-stop-shop, so that they can place everything in competent hands. It doesn't always have to be the big projects that the civil engineering office from Graz realizes with a targeted coordination of the organizational structure. "Our team is also specialized in small units such as primary supply centers with a size of 200 to 300 m²", informs DI Christian Lorenz.
The core competence in clean room planning for GMP-pharmaceuticals, food and electronics is a further advantage of Lorenz Consult. The progress of the pharmaceutical processes runs parallel to the clean room planning and construction progress.
Satisfaction during planning, implementation and operation is an essential criterion. Sometimes it requires a conflict management, in which also the joy in doing is not ignored, because: "We still talk to each other", DI Christian Lorenz calls the secret.
