Regionální Centrum Olomouc Building 2, Commercial and administrative building in Hodolany, Czech Republic.
The Regionální Centrum Olomouc Building 2 is a modern 20-story office and administrative complex located near the main railway station. The structure houses office spaces, congress facilities, exhibition areas, and multiple conference rooms for events and meetings.
The building was completed in 2003 as the second phase of the Regionální Centrum Olomouc complex development. Its construction expanded the original project that had started with a smaller initial structure.
The building's name refers to the Regional Centre Olomouc company, which built it because its 1997 RCO1 building had become too small. In 2013 architect and journalist Adam Gebrian criticised the tower in his programme Gebrian versus, calling it a return to the communist era and architecturally too complex, as well as hard to maintain.
The tower stands on Jeremenkova street directly opposite Olomouc's main railway station, so arrivals by train reach it on foot within minutes. Its 20 floors rise to 71 m, with the top at 300 m above sea level, making it a fixed orientation point when leaving the station.
