    The winning project for the UZH Irchel campus has been chosen

    The architectural competition for the UZH portal on the Irchel campus has been decided. According to a press release from the University of Zurich(UZH), the design by the consortium M2N Architekten and Jaeger Baumanagement from Zurich won over the jury the most. A total of 14 teams submitted their designs.

    The planned new building plays a central role in the fundamental redevelopment of the site, where UZH has established natural sciences, human medicine and veterinary medicine departments with their specialised infrastructures for experimental research and teaching. According to the information provided, the campus is in great need of modernisation after 45 years of operation.

    The jury judged that the winning project continues the DNA of the Irchel campus. It is “characterised by its outstanding internal qualities and successful integration into the existing Irchel campus. The team has not only understood the concerns of the University of Zurich, but has also taken them one step further,” said François Chapuis, Director of Real Estate and Operations.

    The consortium is planning a six-storey timber-concrete hybrid building. This will be adjoined by a long laboratory wing that is one storey lower. The two parts of the building are connected by an entrance area with a green roof terrace. Technical and logistics facilities for the entire campus will be installed in the basement.

    The winning project will now be developed further. an approvable construction project should be available in 2025. If it is approved, construction work could begin in 2029 or 2030. Those responsible estimate a period of 25 years for the refurbishment of the entire campus.

  • Building in Andermatt meets Minergie-P standard

    Building in Andermatt meets Minergie-P standard

    The Andermatt Reuss part of the village, realised by Andermatt Swiss Alps AG, can boast a new attraction, writes the building directorate of the Canton of Uri in a statement. With the Frame flat house, the village district has the first building with Minergie-P certification in the Ursertal valley. For the top category of the Minergie standard, high requirements must be met for the building envelope, energy balance and overall energy efficiency.

    “Only a few buildings have received this award in Uri so far,” building director Roger Nager is quoted as saying in the press release. In Frame’s case, the alpine location of the apartment building is an additional factor. “It is a great achievement that this low-energy house could be built at around 1500 metres,” says Nager.

    The building owner, Andermatt Swiss Alps AG, is having all the new apartment buildings and hotels in the Andermatt Reuss part of the village built to the Minergie standard. In the case of the Frame apartment building, the developer decided to implement the Minergie-P standard thanks to support and advice from the Uri Energy Promotion Programme, writes the building directorate. It expects that two more buildings in Andermatt Reus will soon receive Minergie-P certification.

    The Frame apartment building at Ritomgasse 7 in Andermatt Reuss was built by the total contractor S+B Baumanagement AG. Its 34 flats have already been handed over to their new owners in 2021.
