Technopark Zurich to be modernised by mid-2019
Technopark Zürich, home to around 280 companies and organizations, primarily from the start-up environment, will be remodeled starting in October 2017.
In a first step, the restaurant area will be completely redesigned. During the construction phase, a temporary space will be available in the inner courtyard. The conversion will take place during ongoing operations. Catering for events taking place at Technopark Zurich will continue as before, according to the operators. The restaurant conversion will last until June 2018, and the opening is scheduled for July 1, 2018.
The modernization of the entrances and sanitary facilities will then start in summer 2018. Particular importance will be attached to sustainability aspects such as resource conservation and energy efficiency. The entire conversion is expected to be completed by mid-2019.
Founded in 1993, Technopark Zürich covers an area of 47,000 sqm. The building is owned by Swiss Life and Zürcher Kantonalbank. Currently, there are about 1,800 workplaces in the chemical, consulting, energy, engineering, information and communication technology, life sciences, material sciences, medical technology & diagnostics, micro and nanotechnology, sensors and analytics sectors.
