Bhf#1 new construction Bahnhofplatz 1, Altdorf

Altdorf UR, Switzerland / 03.2020 - 05.2021

The modern service building of the Cantonal Bank of Uri (UKB) is an attractive meeting place at the gateway to Uri, directly at the station of the Gotthard line.

In a structure with a basement, ground floor and five upper floors, this project created new working space. Particular challenges here were the narrow, highly restricted installation and handling areas, as other building and infrastructure projects for the new station square were in progress at the same time.

Investment in the business location Uri.

The narrow and elongated building is oriented with its longitudinal alignment to the railway tracks. On the track side, a cantilever forms a platform roof. On the side facing the bus station, the overhanging parts of the building provide shelter for passengers.

What ultimately counts in the construction business is successfully completed projects. PORR has many of these.
