A project built on sustainability principles

The Rudná Science Park blends harmoniously with nature, featuring eco-friendly buildings with green roofs and extensive greenery separating the area from the motorway. The landscape is enriched with pastures, wildflower meadows, a butterfly garden, a wildlife forest and herb fields, creating an almost continuous green space.

Nature within the Science Park

The architectural and landscape design of the Rudná Science Park is carefully planned to blend harmoniously with nature. Eco-friendly buildings with green roofs will seamlessly integrate into the surroundings without disrupting the natural landscape. A dense belt of mature greenery will further separate the area from the motorway. The space will transition into open countryside with wildflower meadows and other natural elements, including a sheep pasture, a butterfly garden and a wildlife forest. A bird’s-eye view tells the whole story – virtually all you see is lush green vegetation.

Environment

Special attention is given to water management and energy self-sufficiency, thanks to photovoltaic power plants. To minimize the built-up area, most parking will be located underground. The site will also feature its own wastewater treatment plant with a capacity sufficient to partially serve the neighbouring municipality of Drahelčice. This will ease the burden on Rudná’s wastewater treatment plant and improve the quality of local watercourses.

Water management

Water management is a key focus in the design of the Rudná Science Park area. Given the gently sloping terrain, the primary aim is to retain water on-site, which is achieved through the use of green roofs and retention reservoirs.

Public green spaces, garden and landscape architecture

The public greenery fulfils three basic functions in the design: it separates the Science Park from the D5 motorway, makes leisure time more pleasant and connects the site with the surrounding, mostly agricultural landscape.

Herb gardens, wildlife habitats and biodiversity

The Rudná Science Park is designed as a natural environment – a space where buildings exist in harmony with the landscape. Thoughtfully planned green spaces contribute to local biodiversity, providing habitats for various plant and animal species.

Sustainable development and resource efficiency

The buildings are primarily designed using wood and timber-based materials, ensuring the use of renewable resources. Furthermore, as trees grow, they absorb carbon dioxide, giving wood a positive carbon footprint over its lifecycle.

Low energy consumption

The entire Rudná Science Park has been designed with energy efficiency in mind. All buildings are equipped with photovoltaic panels, ensuring a high level of energy self-sufficiency across the site.
