    New Clinic 3: Government Council approves changes

    The University Hospital Basel (USB) is facing a long-term renewal of its structural infrastructure. With this generational project, the USB is laying the foundation for people in the Basel region to have access to a wide range of outpatient and inpatient medicine at university level in the coming decades. The changes to the existing development plan create the conditions for the construction of Klinikum 3. With a view to long-term use for the benefit of patients, the new Klinikum 3 offers a high degree of flexibility in use and enables sensible hospital processes. According to the current planning status, the new clinic will offer space for complex outpatient treatments, for example for a tumor center, and it will also accommodate functional and laboratory areas. Research facilities will also be added later. In addition, the new building offers the necessary space during the realization of Klinikum 2 without having to build costly and unsustainable provisional solutions in the hospital garden.

    According to the current planning status, a first phase of the new building of Klinikum 2 is to be realized in the years 2022 to 2028, for which the development plan is already available and has been approved by the Great Council. The construction of Klinikum 3 is planned for 2024 to 2030. Some of the uses of Clinic 2 will then be shifted to Clinic 3 in order to be able to complete the base building of the new Clinic 2 between 2031 and 2038.

    An objection from Homeland Security was received within the deadline against the public plan requirement regarding changes to the existing development plan. The University Hospital Basel and the Department of Construction and Transport have exchanged views with the Heimatschutz Basel and presented the hospital operational and planning law standpoints. The Government Council proposes that the Great Council dismiss the objection.
