    Building licence granted: Ground-breaking ceremony draws closer

    Under the title “Full speed ahead thanks to building permit”, the latest issue of the “Impulse” magazine published by the Aargau Chamber of Industry and Commerce(AIHK) reports on the progress of planning for the new Haus der Wirtschaft in Aarau. On 25 March, the city of Aarau issued the building permit, according to the magazine. The path to the new Haus der Wirtschaft is therefore clear and the ground-breaking ceremony is approaching. The new Haus der Wirtschaft is expected to be completed in spring 2026.

    As the building permit has been granted earlier than expected, the parties involved have been able to press ahead with the planning work and bring forward the implementation planning, the report continues. Tenders are currently being invited for the various works. The award negotiations for the most important contracts are due to take place at the beginning of July.

    According to the plans, the demolition of the existing building will then begin in mid-August. This will be followed by excavation and drilling for the planned seven geothermal probes. The shell construction work will start at the beginning of October 2024. The new Haus der Wirtschaft should be ready for occupation in spring 2026.

    During the construction work, the employees of the AIHK and the AIHK compensation fund will move to other premises in July. It is still unclear where. Talks about possible rental properties in Aarau are ongoing, according to the AIHK.

    According to an earlier report in “Impulse”, the new Haus der Wirtschaft will enable more professional courses and events to be organised. The new building also stands for the ongoing digitalisation and modernisation that has been taking place at the association for several years.

    The shell of the two interconnected buildings of QUBO in Sarnen North is complete. Sixteen months have passed since the groundbreaking ceremony.

    OKB is constructing a new building there that will provide a new home for innovative companies in Obwalden. The bank will make most of the premises in the new building available to the Startup Pilatus association for the promotion of start-ups as early as October 2023. OKB itself will set up an Innovation Lab there for itself and others. Eberli AG is modernising and expanding its existing headquarters there. Its two conversion and expansion partners, werkunion ag and Orfida Treuhand + Revisions AG, will each occupy one floor as future co-owners of the building.

    The district school Gäu in Neuendorf is expanded by a new building. Hochbau Oensingen, a department of the Schliere-based construction company Strabag AG , is responsible for the building shell with core zones and facades. According to Strabag's press release , the new school building consists of four floors: the basement with underground parking, the technical center, the materials store and the meeting room. On the ground floor, the entrance area, the auditorium and the staff room are created. The new classrooms are located on the two upper floors. The existing building and the new building are connected underground with a passage. The new building should be ready for occupancy in autumn 2023.

    Regarding the construction, the announcement states that a building made of exposed concrete with a wooden structure is planned. Glazed formwork elements and wooden panels with vertical indentations are intended to create the desired exposed concrete structure after concreting.

    The district school Gäu in Neuendorf runs the secondary school for Neuendorf and the surrounding communities. The increasing number of pupils in the associated municipalities requires additional school space, according to the statement. According to the website of the Zweckverband Kreisschule Gäu , the upper school students come from the district communities of Egerkingen, Fulenbach, Härkingen, Neuendorf, Niederbuchsiten, Oberbuchsiten and Wolfwil. Around 440 students are currently being taught by 60 teachers.
