Founded in the 1930s, the Hilti company moved its headquarters outside the municipality of Schaan in the 1950s, which offered a good growth potential for the future. The site then grew continuously like a normal industrial site until the early 2010s, with production halls, office buildings, work yards, storage areas and the central parking lot.

In 2016, the Campus Hilti master plan was drawn up for the future development of the site, which had to take into account the transformation of the headquarters towards more research and development and less production. The new office buildings were accompanied by attractive open spaces with recreational qualities and a park-like campus, as we know it from university campuses. These were designed to a high standard by landscape architects.

In the new building constellation, the main administration building and the training building appear as solitary building, while the innovation center, the office buildings “Office Nord” and “Office Mitte” and “Werk 1” form the regular buildings of the area. These buildings form a loose connection across Feldkircherstrasse, are based on a uniform typology of flat, horizontally layered buildings and seek diversity in unity in the varied anthracite-coloured materialization of the building envelopes.
