Baden Cantonal Hospital celebrates handover of keys for new hospital building

Baden Cantonal Hospital (KSB) has celebrated the handover of the keys to its new hospital building. The eight-storey building is equipped with state-of-the-art medical and building technology. KSB has invested 600 million Swiss francs in the new building. It will be opened on 25 February.
With the handover of the keys on 22 January, the KSB is now officially responsible for the new hospital building. The keys were handed over by actress Salomé Jantz in the role of Queen Agnes of Hungary, the KSB announced in a press release. The Habsburg queen donated a hospital to the town of Baden in 1349 and is the namesake of the current construction project.
The new building was realised by a team from Ghisleni Partner AG under the leadership of owners Stefano and Maurizio Ghisleni. “By using a general planner, we were able to continuously optimise the project and incorporate the latest findings,” KSB CEO Adrian Schmitter is quoted as saying in the press release. “This means that our hospital will not be ten years old when it opens, but will be at the cutting edge of medical and technical development.”
KSB has invested a total of 600 million Swiss francs in the eight-storey building. The new building, equipped with state-of-the-art medical and building technology, is due to open on 25 February. KSB will then move from the old to the new building.
