- „This is a great honor and satisfaction to me that today I can be here celebrating the opening of new building of University of Silesia. Mostostal Warszawa was a general contractor of both, first and second stage of the Chorzów’s Centre. As a part of the project we have built two wings for educational and didactic purposes and a communication passage. Moreover, the building has been equipped with specially matched absorption unit and modern solar collector system. It has been integrated with solar collector system, district heating and cooling substations of the existing building. Application of eco-friendly solutions will allow to reduce the running costs by using solar energy, for example, to heat production or to production of hot water. We build the future. This is mission of Mostostal Warszawa. Our motto becomes particulary important here, within walls of the university which will educate students mostly in engineer faculties: young people who bet on the future” – said José Ángel Ándres López, Vicepresident for Production.
