University of Applied Sciences St Gallen

The base and tower of the University of Applied Sciences St Gallen form a hybrid structure. A 67-metre high tower rises in the block's interior.

A total of 912 room-high box-type windows with ventilation sashes and two large skylights bring light into the studio rooms.

Heat protection comes in the form of material shades installed behind the hinged outer glazing.
