Implenia is building a research campus for Empa Eawag in Dübendorf

Implenia is building phase one of the new Empa campus in Dübendorf. The contract is worth around CHF 56 million. Construction begins in spring 2021 with completion scheduled for autumn 2023.

In the designs by SAM Architekten, winning a two-stage full-service project competition, phase one construction includes a new laboratory building, a multi-function building and a multi-storey car park. The architecture of these buildings is functionally elegant and gracefully restrained.

With 23 new lab rooms and 29 offices in a compact design with high structural dynamism, the laboratory building also has multi-function spaces on the ground floor. The multi-function building offers 1,000 m² of office space in a core and shell build. The ground floor includes space for food service and a loggia facing the campus plaza. The volume of the laboratory building is just under 40,000 m3, while the office building and parking garage are just under 53,000 m3. The parking garage has more than 260 spaces and can accommodate the Empa fleet with E charging station, garage and car wash area. It also has a reserved area for future use, possibly by a third party, e.g. sale as retail space for the campus and neighbourhood. The new buildings on the Empa Campus will be Minergie-P-Eco certified, and the sub-structure of the multi-storey car park uses an innovative hybrid construction technique. The entire project is being planned using BIM, while execution will follow Lean Construction methods.

Jens Vollmar, Head Division buildings at Implenia, commented on the win: “We are very pleased to be working for Empa Eawag on another interesting project: the Research Campus. This marks the continuation of a longstanding working relationship that included, for example, the construction of Forum Chriesbach, in Dübendorf.”
