The Engadin is known for its cultural diversity and breathtaking nature. At the same time, the region is increasingly focussing on innovation<\/span> and sustainable development. The InnHub La Punt is a place where research, entrepreneurship and education come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The centre offers a wide range of uses over an area of 7,700 square metres. These include workshop and classrooms, coworking workspaces, an auditorium with 250 seats, a sports training infrastructure, a spa, a restaurant with bar and lounge, a sports shop, a tourist information centre, 44 hotel rooms and 8 tourist flats. The multifunctional premises create a dynamic environment for innovation<\/span> and interdisciplinary dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Construction begins in spring 2025<\/strong>
Following a comprehensive planning phase in which the concept was further refined, construction of the InnHub La Punt will begin in spring 2025. The municipality issued the building permit in autumn 2023. The existing buildings will be demolished first, followed by the excavation and construction of the underground car park by summer 2026. The shell will be completed by mid-2027 before the interior work begins. The opening is scheduled for the end of 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

In parallel with the municipality of La Punt Chamues-ch’s future projects, including the road bypass and the renaturation of the Chamuerabach stream, the InnHub will create a new centre that will revitalise the town and provide new impetus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Sustainability as a central building block<\/strong>
A key component of the project is its sustainable approach. The building is being constructed from local wood, granite and lime mortar and is an example of the circular economy and ecologically responsible construction. “The InnHub is a matter close to my heart, as I have lived in the Engadin for years. It is an example of sustainability and innovative construction methods,” emphasised architect Norman Foster in a video message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The operation of the campus is also designed to be sustainable. The initiators, including Caspar Copetti, are not focussing on short-term profits, but on long-term positive effects for the region. The InnHub is intended to create new jobs, promote year-round tourism and establish an innovation<\/span> ecosystem in the Engadin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

New impetus for the economy and the community<\/strong>
The InnHub La Punt will not only attract companies, start-ups and skilled workers, but also facilitate strong networking<\/span> with the local population. The municipality of La Punt Chamues-ch sees the project as an important step for the further development of the region. “The campus will create a cultural and social meeting point in our village. The projects that are being created here will inspire future generations to come to La Punt,” says mayor Peter Tomaschett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

In addition to the long-term effects for the region, the InnHub offers an InnHub PopUp even before its completion, which can be used as a co-working and event<\/span> venue for locals, holiday guests and professionals until it opens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

A milestone for the Engadin<\/strong>
The InnHub La Punt combines innovation<\/span>, sustainability and community in a unique way. With a clear focus on responsible development, it will radiate far beyond the Engadin and serve as a model for sustainable innovation<\/span> centres in the Alpine region. The combination of state-of-the-art architecture, innovative working environments and regional roots makes the InnHub a forward-looking project that will provide new impetus for the Grisons as a business location.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
