    Heat from a depth of 2000 meters planned

    The Federal Office for Buildings and Logistics (BBL) has announced an exploratory borehole for a planned geothermal project in Magglingen. Provided the necessary credit approval from the Federal Assembly and drilling permits from the cantonal authorities are obtained, deep water should be detected at a depth of around 1,500 to 2,300 meters.

    According to a press release, “several potential deep water reservoirs” are suspected there, which are to be used for a geothermal plant at the Magglingen National Sports Center of the Federal Office of Sport (FOSPO). The plant could supply heat there from 2029.

    This was preceded by underground investigations in 2023 by the FOBL. These were intended to help obtain a “geological image of the subsoil that is as precise as possible”. The exploration step that has now been announced is intended to further clarify whether the deep water is suitable for the economic use of a geothermal plant in the event of positive evidence.

    Seismic investigations are the basis of many geothermal projects to clarify the exact location of the deep water and because key figures such as water temperature, water volume and flow rate are lacking. The planned exploratory drilling reduces uncertainties and project risks.

  • Joint school and sports center

    Joint school and sports center

    The district of Schwyz announced that the number of inhabitants in the municipality has increased significantly in recent years. Due to this fact, the District Council of Schwyz and the District Council of Arth decided to jointly build a school and sports center on the district-owned properties “Stegweidli” and “Bifang”. The two school buildings are the prelude to the new building. The winner of the two-stage architecture competition in 2019 was the “Chip & Chap” project by BSS Architects, Schwyz.

    It is planned that school operations will take place on the two upper floors, divided into eight classrooms, group rooms, teachers' rooms and preparation rooms. The room for integrative support (IF), the level room and the team leader's office will also be located here. All classrooms are arranged along the outer facade. They are provided with natural ventilation and the rooms offer natural light and a view.

    The creation of a central sports facility and a triple sports hall, which can also be used for large events, is a useful addition to the community's infrastructure, writes the community of Arth in its 2019 budget. On the left are the exit to the changing rooms and the entrances to the sports halls. These are clearly visible and separated from school use. In addition, there are multifunctional rooms that allow further uses. The completion of the two buildings is planned for summer 2021. ■
