Olten

Cantonal hospital multi-storey car park

With the successful realization of the infrastructure project «Parkhaus Kantonsspital» in Olten, Canton of Solothurn, HRS Real Estate AG delivered a modern, highly efficient, and architecturally striking parking solution for a major regional healthcare facility acting as general contractor. The functional new construction project encompasses a multi-level parking structure with five parking decks, offering a total of 507 comfortable and secure parking spaces for patients, visitors, and hospital staff. The facility makes a vital contribution to relieving stationary traffic on the hospital grounds and permanently enhances accessibility to the Solothurn Cantonal Hospital in Olten.

The architecture of the parking garage stands out with its distinctive, translucent profile glass facade that provides natural daylighting and passive ventilation across all parking decks during the day. At night, an integrated, energy-efficient LED lighting concept transforms the building volume into a stylishly illuminated urban landmark that promotes a strong sense of safety and ease of orientation. The internal traffic layout is specifically engineered to comfortably handle high traffic volume and ensure smooth entry and exit operations. Wide drive aisles, clear parking bay arrangements, barrier-free passenger elevators, and an advanced parking guidance system guarantee maximum user convenience. Throughout construction execution, primary focus was placed on durable building materials, a robust reinforced concrete framework, and energy-sustainable building practices. Thanks to precise project management, masterclass interface management, and uncompromising execution quality, HRS successfully handed over this key municipal infrastructure on schedule and strictly within budget.
