The business campus on Körblergasse in Graz is growing. Today's ground-breaking ceremony marks the start of construction of a new office building into which the SVS will move. This will also house the first health center for the self-employed in Styria on an area of 4700 square meters. 

The building, constructed using modern timber construction with geothermal heating and a green photovoltaic roof, will not only house office workplaces on five floors - one of which is underground - and a total gross floor area of 4,725 square meters, but also the first health center for the self-employed in Styria and the third in Austria. It will offer a comprehensive range of outpatient healthcare, diagnostics and therapy for the self-employed. "Our center is aimed at the 210,000 SVS insured persons in Styria," says SVS Chairman Peter Lehner. "In addition to general practitioners, a large number of specialists and therapists are available at one location. The on-site offer is accompanied by comprehensive telemedical services."

"Enhancement for the business campus"
Chamber of Commerce President Josef Herk at the ground-breaking ceremony: "What belongs together is growing together: with the new health center, we are once again enhancing the Campus of Economy in Körblergasse in Graz, where the Center of Excellence is currently being built."
