Science Tower Graz, Research center in Smart City district, Graz, Austria.
Science Tower Graz is a 60-meter high-rise with 13 floors and a distinctive double-skinned cone-shaped facade made of transparent energy glass. The interior contains offices, seminar spaces, and green areas, including rooftop facilities for urban gardening.
The tower opened in 2017 as part of redeveloping a former industrial site previously used by the Waagner Biro factory. This transformation marks the shift of the area from manufacturing to modern science.
The tower houses multiple research organizations and scientific groups that work together on innovative projects. Visitors can sense the energy of a modern knowledge hub where different experts and researchers interact.
The tower is located in the Smart City district and is easily reached by public transport. Note that only certain areas are open to visitors, so it is worth checking access details beforehand.
The facade uses special solar technology that converts sunlight directly into electricity without silicon, representing an innovative energy approach. Deep boreholes beneath the building tap into geothermal heat to support the building's climate control systems.
