Future production for future technology
Swacrit systems, Nassereith
For the Tyrolean high-tech system supplier SWACRIT systems, a new production facility for the semiconductor and analytics industry was created in Nassereith. The new building, covering around 8,000 m², combines clean rooms of classes ISO 6 and ISO 8 with manufacturing, storage, and administrative areas – designed for the highest precision, purity, and energy efficiency.
The production facility for SWACRIT systems, planned integrally by ATP architects and engineers, is a reference project for energy-efficient and resource-friendly industrial architecture. Located in the new facility in the Nassereith industrial park, the company develops and manufactures complex assemblies and systems for the semiconductor and analytics industry - components used in quantum computers, space technologies, and photovoltaic modules, requiring the highest precision, purity, and process safety. The new construction marks the beginning of the new production site and is designed modularly for future expansions.
Energy-Efficient Production
The energy concept is based on three pillars: maximizing the use of naturally available energy resources, maximizing the waste heat utilization of the process plants, and continuous energy monitoring for ongoing operations. The goal is to minimize CO2 emissions from production and building technology. The design follows the standards of DGNB and klimaaktiv, considering life cycle costs and the recyclability of the systems.
Abstracted Mountain Silhouette
The characteristic, folded roof shape of the building reflects the topography of the surrounding mountain ranges, translating it into an abstracted architectural language. The roof slopes are designed for maximum efficiency of the photovoltaic system. Transparent and closed facade areas structure the building: large glass facades characterize the office and administration building, while ventilated metal cassette facades protect the sensitive production areas.
The architectural concept of the new building translates the functional logic of a high-tech industrial plant into a clear building form. The composition of differently high building volumes responds to the technical processes inside and shapes a well-proportioned overall volume.
