All systems go for new biomedicine building
The University of Basel is expanding its Schällemätteli campus with a new research building for its Department of Biomedicine. Planning permission has been granted, the agreement with the sole contractor has been signed, and the loan guarantee is in place. In other words, everything is ready for construction to begin in Fall 2023.
In the Department of Biomedicine, academics and scientists from the field of basic medical research and the university hospitals work side by side to understand the causes of diseases, improve diagnoses and develop new treatment methods. A new laboratory building is to be constructed for this research on the University of Basel’s Life Sciences Campus and is due to be completed by 2031.
The project was awarded to the Swiss construction company Implenia as sole contractor following a public call for tenders in September 2022. The contract for the work and labor has been signed.
