Walo Bertschinger has built the training rooms for a new training centre for professions in the automotive industry in the technology park of Yverdon-les-Bains. The construction company from Dietikon has built premises for 1500 apprentices in the Y-Parc, according to a statement on Facebook. The training centre of the Swiss Automobile Trade Association(AGVS) will combine training rooms and workshops and will be spread over four floors. Operations are scheduled to begin in August.
According to its own information, Y-Parc Swiss Technopole is the largest technology park in Switzerland with more than 200 companies on an area of 52 hectares. 1800 people are employed there. There is 130,000 square metres of space available for the companies.
According to Walo , the new building has a rectangular shape with a recess in the middle and comprises two buildings on a plot of about 8000 square metres. There is an administrative area with a total area of 4000 square metres on five levels and a second, u-shaped industrial area. This will house the mechanical workshops and training rooms with an area of 6000 square metres on four floors. In the workshops, the ceiling height is raised to between 4 and 7 metres to allow for the installation of motorbike and car lifts. There is also an area for trucks.
In the centre of the new training centre there is a landscaped terrace, above which there is a covered parking area of around 700 square metres.
