PREFA is developing a new training and education centre as well as an exhibition building at its headquarters in Marktl, near St. Pölten.
The project also includes a small hotel for training participants and forms an integral part of the new PREFA Academy.
The building itself showcases a wide range of PREFA products and is, in itself, an integral part of the exhibition.
A lightweight timber structure with a series of sawtooth roofs, combined with a large-scale photovoltaic solar roof, creates a variety of exhibition and practical training spaces for PREFA’s customers.
