NDI Group to complete construction of the Eco-Innovation Centre at the Gdańsk University of Technology
The building of the Eco-Innovation Centre is under construction on the campus of the Gdańsk University of Technology. The NDI Group has signed a contract and will carry out all internal installations, finishing and layout works, as well as the development of the land. The building will be equipped, among other things, with modern, environmentally friendly systems for generating renewable energy. This is another NDI Group project for the Gdańsk University of Technology.
The planned building of the Eco-Innovation Centre with an underground car park is located in Siedlicka Street. The shell of the building is currently being completed and work on the façade and roof is starting.
The above-ground floors will house conference and training rooms, lecture theatres, laboratories, and offices. The underground storey will house technical and storage rooms, as well as a car park. The building is composed of parts connected by a glazed hall and linked by a passage to the so-called Hydro building of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Environment. All parts of the building and its surroundings are accessible to people with disabilities. The Eco-Innovation Centre is designed as a detached four-storey building with a full basement and a height of 17.92 metres.
The Eco-Innovation Centre building will incorporate state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly renewable energy generation systems, such as photovoltaic cells and heat pumps, which will power selected parts of the building and work in conjunction with traditional primary energy sources. Rainwater and “greywater” recovery systems have also been designed for a selected part of the building. This solution will help to reduce water consumption. The building will be equipped with advanced control systems.
For the scientists and students of the Gdańsk University of Technology, the investment under construction will have teaching, laboratory, and research functions. It will also become a research and development base for the most important specialisations of the Pomeranian region, i.e.: construction, green energy, and environmental protection technologies. The facility was designed by the FORT architectural office, and the main designer of the building is Professor Antoni Taraszkiewicz.
