The ambitious project envisages the construction of new buildings for medical care, education and research as well as an overall upgrading of the university area. The redevelopment includes the former underground drinking water reservoir on R\u00e4mistrasse at the heart of the area, which will be converted into a caf\u00e9 with indoor and outdoor seating. This project, overseen by SQUADRAT Architekten, integrates parts of the historic water halls and creates an inviting public space.
Another highlight is the redesign of R\u00e4mi and Gloriastrasse, which will offer more space for pedestrians in future and reduce noise levels through traffic calming measures. The aim of redesigning these axes is to improve mobility and at the same time increase the quality of life.
The FORUM UZH, a new university building opposite the main UZH building, will house teaching and research on nine floors and will also include a canteen and shops. The building is due to be completed by the end of 2029 and will provide a modern workplace for around 6,000 students and staff.
Preliminary work has already begun on the construction of the University Hospital’s new MITTE campus. This renewal of the medical infrastructure will revolutionise patient care and set the course for the medicine of the future.
These and other projects in the HGZZ underline Zurich’s commitment to education, research and healthcare. They not only contribute to urban development, but also promote scientific excellence and strengthen Zurich’s position as a leading centre for innovation and knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
