The new medical faculty in Linz is quite different from what was originally intended. Fortunately, because the result is a piazza around which the four buildings are clustered. As different as they are in terms of volume, colour and materials, they all refer to each other, and each one stands for a function: lecture halls, laboratories, administration and the library.
The Faculty of Medicine library is mainly run as an e-library and has a high quality of stay thanks to its bright, open rooms. However, so much open space also requires thermal and air-hygienic comfort so that the students remain concentrated and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
