Schwarz Immobilienmanagement GmbH & Co. KG, in coordination with the city of Heilbronn, intends to realise the expansion of the educational campus in Heilbronn in several construction phases. The ‘Bildungscampus West’ is to be developed on the approximately eight-hectare site as an extension to the existing campus. In addition to university facilities, additional office and commercial uses, university-related and student housing as well as sports and leisure facilities are to be created there in future. A harmonious ensemble of three buildings for university use and ETH Zurich research facilities is to be created on construction site H. In order to facilitate a variety of uses, the construction site will be divided into two components, H1 and H2.
Buildings H1 and H2 form clear urban edges towards the boulevard and slipway (boat ramp). With an open development structure on the south side, the buildings interlock with the landscaped outdoor space, while a staggered height also creates a link to the Neckarbogen. A biodiversity roof and a viewing terrace will be created on the roof areas of H1 and H2. The building ensemble is completed by the ETH garden and the ETH square as connecting elements.
ETH Zurich's new location on the educational campus in Heilbronn is to become a forward-looking teaching and research centre that will have an impact through its research topics and external impact. The aim is to create an attractive and lively place for students, researchers and interested parties that reflects the identity of ETH Zurich and represents it in both its interior and exterior design.
