 By 1955 the company had raised the capital needed to construct the first building, but the planned location on a plot of land between the university and Blasius-Hueber-Strasse was no longer available as the Tyrolean Office of Public Works chose to reserve the site for future extensions to the university itself.As an alternative, a plot of land in Rechengasse was proposed and accepted.But work on the six-storey building proved very difficult because of the poor load-bearing capacity of the foundation soil and the need to excavate the clay and mud strata to remove the remains of a rack from the days of river logging operations.
