IST Studies, Private College, Athens
The building of “IST” college on Piraeus Street, with a total area of 15.000m2, extends to three levels and emerged from five existing reinforced concrete frames, after complete redesign, reconstruction and seismic strengthening.
The above frames belonged to older buildings of a factory, more than 30 years old. They were extremely weak against lateral loads.
Twelve new reinforced concrete cores and walls were added throughout the building and accommodate new stairwells and elevator shafts. They have been founded on mat footings connected to the existing foundations. The new cores and new shear walls incorporated existing columns and beams. The building was strengthened against earthquake and its stiffness and strength grew vastly.
The expansion joints between buildings were maintained and neoprene bearings were placed where it was needed to avoid collisions during an earthquake. The buildings were redesigned architecturally so that the new single building would fit the needs of an educational institution. The vaulted ceilings, where they existed, were preserved and exploited for architectural purposes.

Our Scope of Works
Preliminary, Final Design, Construction Design, Site Supervision
Ground floor small building, as an extension of an existing villa, in a very seismic area, such as Loutraki in the prefecture of Korinthia.
Existing reinforced concrete building, built in 1968, consists of a basement, ground floor and two floors, of square layout with a courtyard, architecturally and statically pioneering for its era. It is used as a high school of the German School Athens
Inspection of post tensioned concrete beams on the roofs of two buildings of the German School Athens, the sports hall and the auditorium, from the year 68.

The primary school of the German School Athens consists of two independent, built in 1982 longitudinal structures made of reinforced concrete, which are separated by expansion joints
A school building, built in the 80s in the central part of Amarousi Attica, consists of a basement, a ground floor and 5 floors with an asymmetric plan view and an eccentric core of the stairwell and elevator in the backyard.
Building in the center of Athens, consisting of two basement floors, seven floors and an attic. It is renovated architecturally and electromechanically and upgraded against earthquakes and fire.
