Security Center, Bezau

The new Sicherheitszentrum in Bezau was commissioned because the fire and rescue teams needed more functional space. As the fire department requires a large ground floor for its emergency vehicles and training, this determined the size of the buildings footprint. By amalgamating the requirements of the community and those of all the rescue teams, it was decided to create the new Sicherheitszentrum in the Bezau in the centre of the town and to simultaneously support the needs of the local community with additional underground parking facilities in the town centre.

»It was not just about meeting the needs of the town residence and the security service teams; it was also about making sure we created another example of modern timber architecture in Vorarlberg, to continue to promote this wonderful, versatile and sustainable building material.«

The Sicherheitszentrum is another project in a series of community buildings that have been constructed in the last few years that are dedicated to promotion of timber construction and modern architecture. Timber is the material of choice when creating public buildings in Vorarlberg. The building material comes from the regions own forests, and its use promotes the highest standards in sustainability, and the regions continued efforts in ecological protection for in the communities the building serve.
