DDPS building on the Rynächter site

The new DDPS building on the Rynächter site in Schattdorf is part of the portfolio of armasuisse, the real estate competence centre of the DDPS.

The armasuisse Real Estate Competence Centre is responsible for the management of 24,000 hectares of land and 6,000 buildings and facilities belonging to the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS). The armasuisse real estate portfolio is one of the most extensive and diverse real estate holdings in Switzerland with infrastructure for administration and operations, training, deployment, logistics and support. The portfolio includes weapons and firing ranges, barracks and military airfields as well as bunkers, armouries, underground facilities, high-altitude installations and complex simulator buildings.

At 68 metres long, 17 metres wide and 10.5 metres high, the new building in Schattdorf offers a generous amount of space and blends well and unobtrusively into the landscape with the façade elements from Montana.

1,700 square metres of MONTAFORM® Design MFD Z 35-5/250 V in the colour Ariana and 100 square metres of the same profile in a perforated version with a 5/8 hole pattern were used for the façade. 4,500 square metres of MONTANATHERM® MTW V 120/1000 were also installed in the façade and 1,485 square metres of MONTANATHERM® MTD TL 165/1000 in the roof, both in the colour EPHYRA.
