Architect Markus Schietsch<\/a> has received a silver Hase Architecture Prize from “Hochparterre<\/span><\/a>” for his new construction of the cantonal AVS building<\/a> in Unterentfelden. The prize was awarded on December 2 at the Zurich Museum of Design. It recognizes the architectural quality of the building and the consistent implementation of sustainable construction methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The new building with its laboratory and office workstations for currently 80 employees was officially opened<\/a> on October 25, 2024 after two and a half years of construction. The construction work was planned and carried out by Immobilien Aargau<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

“The award confirms the path we have taken,” said Cantonal Councillor Dr. Markus Dieth in a press release<\/a>. “The canton of Aargau invests in sustainable, economical and high-quality buildings that also take cost-efficient construction into account. I would like to congratulate Markus Schietsch and the Aargau Real Estate<\/span> Department on this success.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

According to Schietsch, this award shows “that careful planning, a clear architectural approach and the courage to use sustainable materials such as wood are more in demand today than ever before”. Head of office and cantonal chemist Dr. Alda Breitenmoser emphasizes that the new building offers “optimal working conditions” for consumer protection: “The architecture supports our work processes, creates a pleasant indoor climate and shows that modern administration can be ecological and functional at the same time.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of November 2025, the new AVS headquarters received an award<\/a> from the Pro Holz Aargau<\/a> wood network for its timber construction.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
