Description
The project will finance the extension infrastructure of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) in Klosterneuburg. This will create seven new interconnected buildings that will house laboratories, researcher offices, learning centres and communal areas, a new maintenance and storage facility, and a new kindergarten.
Objectives
The aim is to provide a world-class facility with a state-of-the-art research infrastructure, enabling ISTA to continue its successful growth path of the past 15 years. The presence of a such institution could also attract related industries and investments to the region, creating employment in high-value-added sectors.

Environmental aspects
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU (as amended by Directive 2014/52/EU) does not specifically cover educational activities, leaving it at the discretion of the responsible competent authorities to request an EIA on the basis of the location and scale of the works concerned. However, educational facilities may fall under Annex II of the Directive with respect to Urban Development. The EIB will verify during appraisal whether an EIA is required by the competent authority. The public buildings will be required to meet at least the energy efficiency targets as defined in Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings and Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency.
