On Tuesday, September 9, the roofing ceremony of the newest building at the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area – Main Campus in Allschwil took place. The building, named ALL, marks another milestone in the continuous development of the site as a hub for cutting-edge research, startups, and innovation.
The anchor tenant of ALL will be the Botnar Institute of Immune Engineering (BIIE). At this location, the institute will explore immunological systems and develop translational solutions for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases affecting children and adolescents worldwide.
On the ground floor, approximately 1,000 m² of fully equipped laboratories will be established for startups and spin-offs – including those emerging from the BIIE. With this expansion, the highly sought-after offer of state-of-the-art lab space on the Main Campus HQ will be significantly extended.
Complementing the innovative environment, Bäckerei Bangerter will open a café on the ground floor of ALL, enriching the campus’ gastronomy and providing an additional space for informal meetings and networking.
The name ALL stands for Animus Labor Laetitia. Its concept combines everything SENN and Herzog & de Meuron learned from the Main Campus HQ regarding flexibility and laboratory capacity, together with insights from the HORTUS office building in terms of sustainability and comfort.
ALL sets new standards in sustainability: it fulfills three certifications at once – SNBS Platinum, LEED Platinum, and Minergie-A. It will be the first energy-positive laboratory building of this size with Minergie-A certification, positioning it as a flagship project for sustainable research infrastructure.
With ALL, the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area continues to strengthen its position as a world-class site for innovation, research, and entrepreneurship.
BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), a global medical technology leader, has opened a new base at the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area – Main Campus in Basel/Allschwil.
Huge win for Basel’s newest innovation district! The Botnar Institute of Immune Engineering (BIIE), an independent research institute on a mission to develop novel immune-based diagnostics and therapeutics, has chosen the Main Campus as its future home.
