What is now evident as a \u201csignificant backlog\u201d in building maintenance is the result of decades of insufficient investment. According to the State Council, numerous buildings are in critical need of renovation. Without intervention, many properties will slip from the \u201csomewhat poor\u201d category to the \u201cpoor\u201d category by 2032. Even in the past, immediate measures had to be taken to avert operational bans, such as for the Aula Magna at the University of Fribourg.<\/p>\n
Energy, Safety, Value 25 million per year, 38 priority buildings Two Phases, a Long-Term Commitment The Canton of Fribourg owns 661 buildings. Many of them are dilapidated, many are energy-inefficient, and without intervention, the situation will deteriorate drastically in just a few years. The Grand Council approved a framework credit of 150 million Swiss francs by a vote of 81 to 4 to address the backlog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160139,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_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":[12482,49705,55975,12490,22698],"tags":[60028,40684,13443,60029,60030,12525,12526,60031,12528,50302,12819],"class_list":["post-160138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy","category-freiburg-en","category-institutions-education","category-refurbishment","category-sustainability","tag-bildungsbauten","tag-brandschutz-en","tag-energieeffizienz-en","tag-erdbebenvorsorge","tag-gebaudeunterhaltung","tag-immoinvest-en","tag-immonews-en","tag-kanton-freiburg","tag-news-en","tag-rahmenkredit-en","tag-sanierung-en"],"acf":{"bild_mit_ki_erstellt_worden":"","lead":"The Canton of Fribourg owns 661 buildings.

<\/strong>The program pursues three goals simultaneously. Many state buildings are currently considered major energy wasters. This contradicts the canton\u2019s climate goals and budgetary consolidation efforts. Fire safety and earthquake preparedness show significant deficiencies in several buildings, and the deterioration of their condition will cost more in the long term than targeted renovations.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>An average of 25 million Swiss francs per year will be available for the period from 2026 to 2031. In the first cycle, 38 buildings were classified as priorities. These include the University of Fribourg\u2019s PER 08 and 09 buildings, which house the physics, sports science, and medical departments, as well as the main building of the Coll\u00e8ge du Sud in Bulle. The measures include boiler replacements, systematic window renovations, and the optimization of heating control systems.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>The program is divided into a study and prioritization phase from 2026 to 2027, followed by the actual implementation through 2031. The entire renovation timeline extends through 2046. In doing so, the canton is not only fulfilling its legal obligation as the property owner but is also providing an economic boost. A large portion of the contracts is to be awarded to regional companies. The goal is to create healthy workplaces and modern learning environments\u2014not just renovated facades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
