A total of 1,060 cubic meters of wood were used in the construction of the new Agricultural College Winklhof in Oberalm, Salzburg – a clear commitment to sustainable building practices. With the completion of one of the country's largest timber construction projects, a modern educational center has been created that places natural, renewable materials at its core.
The new workshops for wood, metal, and agricultural engineering, as well as equine management, now provide a future-oriented learning environment for 251 students and 72 staff members. Wood, as the central building material, not only ensures ecological sustainability but also contributes to a healthy indoor climate. The boarding school built entirely of solid wood eight years ago had already demonstrated these benefits impressively.
As part of a holistic sustainability concept, the existing equestrian facilities at Wiesenhof were also dismantled. The areas that have been freed up will now be used as grassland for feed production.
The entire construction project was accompanied by two Timelapse construction site cameras. From the continuously recorded images, a cinema-quality time-lapse film was created, documenting the impressive build from two perspectives.
