A campus is created The impressive main building standing beside an area of water, which was erected in 1895 for what was then the "Lower Austrian Regional Lunatic Asylum Kierling Gug-ging", is often used in the media as the public face of the IST Austria, which was founded in 2007. The large pond in front of this main building lies at the lowest point of the wide Vienna Woods Valley, which was created more than 30,000 years ago by the streams Ram- bach, Haselbach and Marbach flowing together. With the surrounding green space, the pond forms the central public square of the 1ST Austria Campus. Since 2009 the main building has been flanked by two new buildings. Heinz Tesar's Lecture Hall was the first and connects directly to the main building on the western side. The circle of buildings around the pond has been successively closed by adding new buildings. From the old Pavilion Clinic there remains what is now the Voestalpine Building, opposite the main building, and at the entrance to the campus, somewhat to one side, the villa in which the facility management and the security services are accommodated. At the northern end of the site, on the lower slope of the Sonnberg, the House of Artists and the former Children's House, today Museum Gugging, have been preserved. Following the erection of the Lab Building West, designed by Baumschlager Eberle, which completed the circle of buildings, the further development phase of the 1ST Campus now follows the direction taken by the Marbach stream, which flows northwards into the valley that grows narrower. The first building to be erected on this axis was the canteen (goya + MANG Architekten), which occupies an elevated position to the left of the campus' own small roundabout.
