Ilse Wallentin was the first woman to receive a doctorate from the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences. Today, Vienna’s first wooden university building bears her name. The amount of wood needed for the Ilse Wallentin House regrows in Austria\u2019s forests in only 17 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n \n \n

A “solitaire in timber”, “a second forest” and “a contemporary statement” for future urban planning – that’s how the CO2-neutral university building is described in the press. It is made from 78 % wood and has been awarded the Green & Blue Building Award, among others. On 3,100 m\u00b2, it offers ten seminar rooms for 500 students, a library with 100 reading places and 40 institute rooms. Large windows flood all four floors with light and open up views out into the countryside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n \n \n

Concrete components are reduced to a base, which forms a cantilevered terrace – an open public space, a meeting place and a marketplace of ideas. The defining element here remains wood with its many favorable properties – it provides pleasant acoustics and a profound sense of coziness. The natural indoor climate is supported by sophisticated technology and modern sensory systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n \n \n

It was about 100 years ago that Ilse Wallentin defended her doctorate, and the wood used in the low-energy house named after her grows back in Austria’s forests in just 16 minutes. Both figures represent outstanding achievements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n \n \n
