  • Modernisation of the Herzogenmühle health centre

    Modernisation of the Herzogenmühle health centre

    After more than three decades of operation, the Herzogenmühle health centre is undergoing a fundamental modernisation. This measure takes into account the change in operational requirements and the changing needs of the residents. The project focuses on various structural optimisations that are to be implemented between July 2024 and July 2025. In particular, the aim is to create larger communal areas by merging various rooms. The aim is to improve mobility within the centre and increase the quality of stay for residents. Special niches for rollators and wheelchairs will make it easier to get around.

    A major part of the conversion involves converting unused bathing facilities in the basement into a modern health and fitness room, including a physiotherapy facility. In addition, a previously unused nursing bath will be reactivated and the podiatry department will be relocated to a new area within the hairdressing salon. The outdoor areas of the health centre will be enriched by numerous newly planted trees, which will improve the local climate and contribute to increasing biodiversity.

    In addition to these optimisations, necessary repairs are also planned. For example, the windows need to be refurbished due to leaks and the flat roof needs to be completely replaced. Photovoltaic systems are to be installed on the redesigned roof in order to increase the building’s energy efficiency. Furthermore, adjustments will be made to the exterior to increase accessibility and improve accident prevention. The energy and building technology will also be comprehensively modernised, including the installation of automated shading for the cafeteria, dining hall and multi-purpose hall to ensure better heat protection in summer. For these comprehensive measures, the city council approved new expenditure totalling CHF 1.664 million for the renovation and CHF 4.218 million for the partial refurbishment, including the usual reserves.
