Construction work has begun on the “FORUM UZH”, a pioneering project of the University of Zurich. The new building will create pioneering teaching and research facilities to meet the increasing demands of modern higher education. The project is a central component of the urban expansion of the Zurich university area. In addition to learning and working areas, publicly accessible cafeterias, libraries and commercial areas will also be created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The concept of the new building is characterised by sustainability. The timber-concrete hybrid construction method significantly reduces CO2 emissions and ensures a high quality of stay. The greening of the roof surface in combination with a photovoltaic system makes a positive contribution to the urban climate. The creation of a town square with planting further enhances the urban space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Focus on sustainability With the start of construction of the “FORUM UZH”, the University of Zurich is marking a milestone in the further development of Zurich as a university location. The innovative new building will provide urgently needed space for teaching and research from 2030 and expand the university area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112022,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","_surecart_dashboard_logo_width":"180px","_surecart_dashboard_show_logo":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_orders":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_invoices":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_subscriptions":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_downloads":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_billing":true,"_surecart_dashboard_navigation_account":true,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22358,12489,22698],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-112051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-construction","category-new-construction","category-sustainability","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":{"bild_mit_ki_erstellt_worden":[],"lead":"With the start of construction of the \"FORUM UZH\", the University of Zurich is marking a milestone in the further development of Zurich as a university location.

<\/strong>The “FORUM UZH” is orientated towards the highest sustainability standards. With the Minergie-P certificate and SGNI gold certification, the building is a pioneer in ecological construction. The combination of environmentally friendly building materials and energy-efficient technology makes it a model project that will play an important role in Zurich’s urban landscape. Construction is progressing according to plan, with the building due to be occupied from mid-2030.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
