    Award for sustainable hospital construction

    Baden Cantonal Hospital(KSB) has been honored at the World Architecture Festival in Miami, Florida. The architecture of the new KSB building won a prize in the Health category, according to a press release. The World Architecture Festival was held from November 12 to 14.

    At the event at the Miami Beach Convention Center, 160 international jurors voted on 460 projects. The hospital building realized by Nickl & Partner Architekten Schweiz and other planning partners was recognized for its clear design language, sustainable construction and consistent focus on a healing environment for patients, according to the press release. “This award is an impressive confirmation of our vision: to build a hospital that combines medical excellence and efficient operation with state-of-the-art architecture,” said Pascal Cotrotzo, CEO of KSB. “We are proud that our new building in Miami has received international recognition. Our thanks go to everyone who made this major project possible.”

    KSB already received the European Healthcare Design Award in London in June 2025. In order to show off the entire new building to its full advantage, a green space will be built on the site of the old hospital to connect it to the city. The KSB refers to a complaint by the Aargau Heritage Society against the demolition of the old building and a petition with 7,000 signatures against this complaint.

    Baden Cantonal Hospital has won the prize for facilities over 25,000 square metres at the European Healthcare Design Awards 2025. It was presented at the 11th European Healthcare Design Congress in London. This annual award recognises outstanding buildings in the healthcare sector.

    According to KSB, “following a highly competitive selection process”, the jury particularly praised the integrative approach of the design: “a hospital that focusses equally on functional efficiency, quality of stay, architectural identity and the well-being of patients and staff”. The jury, organised by Salus Naturarzneimittel and Architects for Health, was made up of representatives from Australia, the UK and the USA. In their announcement of the winners, the organisers emphasise that the Swiss project “raises sustainability and healing architecture to a new level”.

    The new building, also known as the Agnes Hospital, was commissioned by Baden Cantonal Hospital and planned by Nickl & Partner Architekten, Ghisleni Partner and Amstein Walthert Zurich. Its name goes back to Queen Agnes of Hungary from the House of Habsburg, who donated a hospital to the town of Baden in 1349, which has been adapted to medical developments ever since.

    “We are proud to have created an infrastructure on our healthcare campus that also inspires internationally,” says the KSB. “A reason to celebrate for the entire KSB – and for the canton of Aargau!”
