State Service Center - LDZ Salzburg

Pooling forces

With the new state service centre (LDZ) in Salzburg, a large part of the regional administration will be consolidated in a modern building. The new building, commissioned by the state of Salzburg, will have a total area of 54,000 square metres, with approximately 40,000 square metres above ground and around 14,000 square metres underground.

Architects Burtscher – Durig have designed the new office building for around 1,200 employees. The existing structures have been completely demolished so that now the entire area between Elisabethstrasse, Fanny-von-Lehnert-Strasse, Kaiserschützenstrasse, and Karl-Wurmb-Strasse is available for the new development. Currently, work on the shell and core is underway, and most of the structures below ground have already been completed. The Vasko+Partner team is responsible for overseeing the works on site and for construction coordination.

Although a renovation of the civic center at Salzburg Central Station was considered, it was found to be neither technically nor economically feasible. Thus, the decision was made to build the new LDZ as a central and easily accessible point of contact for all administrative matters with the government. Additionally, the construction offers the opportunity of further development of the railway station district.

The new building will consist of ten upper floors, a ground floor, and two basements. From the 3rd floor upward, the service centre will be realised as a hybrid wood structure, which will take shape towards the middle of 2025. The whole development is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2026.
