The Millennium Tower II (formerly known as Polus Tower II) is a high-rise office building in Bratislava, Slovakia. Standing at 100 m (330 ft) tall with a total of 23 floors, the building was inaugurated in 2003 and is part of the Polus City Center complex known as VIVO! Bratislava as of today.[3]

History

Architecture

The building is located in the Polus City Center complex and its total height is 85m above ground level. It has 21 above-ground floors with administration and one underground floor serving parking for up to 300 vehicles. The administrative building is constructed as a functionally independent object. It is intended for rent of 22,600 m2 of modern and high-quality office space. The main supporting system of the building is formed by a reinforced concrete core located approximately in the center of the building. Five high-speed elevators with a load capacity of 1,800 kg, stairs and sanitary facilities of the building are located inside the core.[4][5][6]

Flexible interiors were introduced in both buildings to meet the ever-changing demands of clients MillTower 1-2 Bratislava.[5]

Since the subsoil of the building consists of sandy clays, and clay gravels and the groundwater level is approximately -6.0 m below ground level, the structure is assembled on a symmetrically loaded base plate of 2.1 m thickness lying directly on the subsoil and a base plate of 0.6 m thickness lying on a compressible base that behaves like a bracket. The increase in the bearing capacity of the subsoil was ensured by the implementation of gravel piles.[7][5]
