Visualisierung Biosysteme (D-BSSE) der ETH Zürich, Nickl & Partner Architekten Schweiz AG

The foundation stone for the new ETH Zurich Department for Biosystems (D-BSS) building was laid in a ceremony in Basel on Thursday September 6.

An innovative centre of interdisciplinary cooperation between synthetic biology and personalised, data-based medicine with 18,500 m² of main usable space is being built on the Schällemätteli campus in the immediate vicinity of the Novartis campus and the Basel University hospital.

In 2013, Nickl & Partner Architekten succeeded in winning the competition for the teaching and research building. It will include laboratories, lecture halls, and clean rooms, as well as office and student workplaces. The 200 million Swiss franc project should be completed in 2022.
