The project centers on a new building covering an area of over 40,000 m². Where a small switchgear facility once stood, a building unlike any other is now being constructed. It must meet the highest standards, demonstrate maximum stability, withstand high floor loads and at the same time be scalable and flexible. Every square meter counts and every kilogram is crucial to ensure that the overall project can realize its full potential.
The Technology Center Laufenburg presents itself as a precisely composed structure that harmonizes technological requirements and architectural expression. The structure of the building is based on a modular system that allows for maximum flexibility in use and expansion.
The building blends in with its surroundings while also setting an example for innovation. The blue solar facade, covering an area of around 13,000 m², emphasizes an architectural design that responds flexibly to future technological developments.
The structure is clearly organized and follows a strict design logic. The supporting structure, access routes and technical areas are precisely coordinated, resulting in a building that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The technology center is a pioneering project. There is no other building of this size that houses a data center and battery storage facility. The planning is correspondingly complex.
With the completion scheduled for 2028, the construction project is bound to a tight schedule. Planning, coordination and precision are the basis for the project's success. With rolling planning, every minute is optimized.
The Technology Center Laufenburg will be completely covered with a solar shell. State-of-the-art photovoltaic technology ensures that the building blends perfectly into the landscape while still reflecting innovation and sustainable construction.
The strategic location at the Star of Laufenburg enables a direct connection to the highest possible grid capacity. This unique selling point makes the location and the project a perfect match, because there is no second chance for an opportunity like this today.
The Technology Center Laufenburg (TCL) is divided into several areas: server infrastructure, power electronics, battery storage tanks, logistics and installation areas. The entrance area houses hundreds of square meters of office and assembly space, providing direct access to the storage facility and data center.
Info: The visualization corresponds to the planned status as of December 2025. Deviations in layout and subdivision are possible.
"The Technology Center Laufenburg is a building that goes far beyond its architectural appearance. It is a place where energy, digitalization and architecture enter into a new relationship. The structural design responds to the high functional requirements of a battery storage facility and an AI data center just as naturally as it meets the demand for a clear, timeless architectural language.
Our task is to translate the technical complexity – from energy distribution, cooling and load transfer to modularity – into a legible, logical and aesthetically convincing form. The result of rolling planning is a building that not only integrates highly complex technologies, but also embodies openness, versatility and sustainability.
The Technology Center Laufenburg is more than a functional building: it is an architectural statement for the combination of energy, intelligence and sustainable building culture."
The world's largest redox flow battery storage facility is being built at the heart of the technology center. Among other things, this innovative technology impresses with its sustainability: it is recyclable, non-flammable and non-explosive. This powerhouse will help to stabilize the energy supply in Switzerland and important parts of Europe in the long term.
The AI data center combines cutting-edge technology with the highest security standards and guarantees a future-proof, scalable solution for hyperscalers. The FlexBase “Sovereign AI Factory” sets new standards in terms of performance, security, sustainability and future-proofing.
