Rechenzentrum Stollen Wartegg

The new data center in the heart of Lucerne is being built from an underground bunker complex shielded from the outside world (Stollen Wartegg, a civil defense facility dating from the 1960s for 1,000 people) and provides space for 1,640 square meters of IT usable area with around 600 server racks.

  • 1.9 Million CHF
The gallery system includes 2 access galleries, 3 side galleries, 6 main galleries and 11 side galleries, whose cross-sections were variously widened, extended or newly constructed. Excavation was carried out using machine-assisted tunnelling methods and/or blasting. A new engineering control center was constructed in the east access area.


Special features: The data center is located between the Alpenquai Cantonal School and the Tribschen/Wartegg school area of the City of Lucerne, below Villa Schröder and directly adjacent to the Tribschenhorn Sailing Club on Lake Lucerne. Therefore, the highest attention was paid to gentle rock removal (minimization of vibrations).
