Astron Buildings: Inauguration of the First Eco-Circular Car Park at the Automobility Campus in Bissen

On 23 September, an official inauguration ceremony of the Bissen Campus multi-storey car park was organised in Bissen in the presence of the Minister of Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism Lex Delles and all the partners who contributed to the realization of the project.

Located within the Automobility Campus in Bissen, it embodies a new era in sustainable and circular construction by being the first car park built in an eco-circular way in Luxembourg.

Indeed, the building stands out from other car parks by the way it was built, which is truly innovative. Spread over 6 floors, the building includes 500 parking spaces for cars and 9 parking spaces for motorcycles. With a length of 75 metres and a width of 32 metres, it is fully modular and can be dismantled (fully or partially) and reassembled for parking or other purposes (e.g. as an office building). It is also possible to extend it laterally, which will increase the capacity by 350 additional spaces. It is equipped with a photovoltaic system consisting of 714 modules with a total output of 393 kWp.

The Looppark team that designed and built this project consists of the architectural firm Rau, the consulting engineering firm PlanB, the technical office EnTec, the project management office PROgroup, as well as the companies Jans, Astron Buildings / Briand as well as Enovos as the company responsible for the photovoltaic installation. An inventory of materials, commonly known as "Madaster", was carried out, in other words, all the components were registered in a material bank in order to make their reuse possible at the end of their life in other projects, according to the principles of the circular economy, advocated through the Product Circularity Datasheet.

With a surface area of 14 hectares that can accommodate up to 4,000 people, dedicated to innovation in the Luxembourg automotive and mobility sector, the Automobility Campus aims to become the reference site in the sector and to help position Luxembourg as a destination of choice for its players. By bringing together all stakeholders in the sector in one place, the aim is to create synergies, in particular by sharing facilities, resources or experiences, and thus increase innovation in this field - to the benefit of Luxembourg and its mobility needs. The car park thus becomes the first shared facility on campus.

Minister Lex Delles said at the inauguration: "This project perfectly embodies our commitment to a sustainable economy. Its fully modular and dismountable structure illustrates our country's innovation and ambition in the field of circular construction. I would like to thank all those who contributed to this exemplary achievement. This car park, in the heart of an environment focused on the future of the automobile, offers unique architectural flexibility, while concretely responding to environmental challenges and the needs of modern urban mobility."

The car park will also soon be equipped with charging stations for electric vehicles.
