Final spurt at the Skypark Business Center

The last solid wood construction element has been installed on the major project at Luxembourg Airport and the shell has been completed. The final finishing work will follow. binderholz supplied CLT BBS and glulam. A total of around 15,000 m³ of timber was used.

Skypark Business Center at Luxembourg Airport is an impressive building greatly focused on energy efficiency and sustainability. One means to this end is cross-laminated timber (or CLT for short). Since wood is a renewable material and the production of CLT consumes comparatively little energy, CLT is an environmentally friendly alternative to concrete or steel. Furthermore, various technical systems (e.g. displacement ventilation) were incorporated in the project located right next to the passenger terminal. These systems ensure good room quality and reduce energy consumption. The wooden ceilings remain visible in the finished building. Roof gardens and a double façade also form part of the sustainable concept, promoting the well-being of users and minimising the impact on the environment.

The building contains a four-storey underground car park, retail spaces, a hotel section, restaurants, offices and more.
