Phase one of the Rimac Campus - the production facillity, with an area of over 75,000 square meters, is completed. The Rimac Campus merges high technology with the natural environment, creating a dynamic space that embraces change and adapts to future development, with a focus on sustainability and the integration of technology, nature, and community. It is conceptually designed as a park, with the production facility and office building fully integrated into the planned surroundings.
The rapid execution was ensured by industrial building technology, which involves a combination of prefabricated reinforced concrete and steel elements. Departments are designed as individual "houses within a house," with a height of 6 meters, and a space in between for installations. At the intersection of the main axes, there is a central atrium and an expanded communication area with a large kitchen and common dining hall, serving as a gathering and social space. The introduction of the atrium allows for natural lighting and fresh air, providing a more pleasant microclimate and atmosphere in the building's interior.
The main design element is a continuous cladding made of profiled sheet metal, with a total length of one kilometer. Aluminum was chosen for the cladding because it is lightweight and easy to assemble on the facade, allowing for adaptation to curvature at the corners. At the same time, it ensures the reflection and dematerialization of the massive production volume, introducing the theme of new monumentality and the relationship to space. The materials have been carefully selected to allow for their reuse and recycling. Only renewable energy sources are used for the needs of the production facility.
