New structures include a laboratory building, a multi-function building and 
a multi-storey car park | Contract worth around CHF 56 million 
 
*Dietlikon, 12 January 2021 *- 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.'
