Before something new can arise, the old must give way. At the start of the year, work commenced on demolishing the old building and preparations for the construction of the “Campus Giessen”. Now there is a very large empty space where the building housing the Department of Justice once stood.
The building on the Äulestrasse, which was owned by LLB, was previously leased by the Department of Justice. The old building consisted of four floors and was built in 1983.It was acquired by LLB in February 2011. Up to 1992, the building was home to the motor vehicle inspection unit before this office moved to the Gewerbeweg.
The Department of Justice is currently housed at the LLB headquarters building south. At the beginning of summer 2024, this official department will move into the new national administration service centre.
Demolition facts and figures
The complete demolition operation lasted only a month. A total of nearly 2ʼ100 tonnes of material or 137 truck loads were removed. This included concrete, mineral construction waste, insulation material, scrap wood, glass, aluminium, steel, electric cables, neon lights and other waste, which was neatly separated and properly disposed of or recycled.
Looking ahead
We can be certain that the “Campus Giessen” will enhance the Äule district of Vaduz. The architecture alone – consisting of a light-weight design made of wood – is special. The five-storey building will offer a pleasant office atmosphere. The interior walls will be predominantly of wood providng space for informal meetings. Large seminar rooms are planned on the ground floor. Employees will be able to enjoy a landscapped internal courtyard. Each floor will provide space for about 60 work stations in an open and flexible office building.
The symbolic ground-breaking ceremony on 24 August 2023 marked the start of construction work on the “Campus Giessen”. The building should be ready in the third quarter of 2025.
