Developing a campus
ETH Zurich’s core missions are teaching, research, and the transfer of knowledge to business and society. Modern and flexible infrastructure is a key factor and prerequisite for international excellence.
The long-term development of the campus, ETH Zurich’s real estate planning, and its requirements for new buildings are all based on the university’s teaching, research and knowledge transfer activities. ETH Zurich follows a sustainability- and quality-driven approach to real estate development.
The university favours flexible buildings that can be easily adapted to new developments and changing requirements. The quality of the existing building stock must also be preserved and its value maintained. All these tasks are carried out by the Real Estate Management department at ETH Zurich.
These provide a full range of teaching and research offerings and services. They each offer a centralised space for several departments. H?nggerberg also has a distinct campus character.
ETH Zurich is developing the Zurich university region together with the University Hospital and the University of Zurich, with medicine as a joint development centre and strategic focus of ETH Zurich.
Zentrum campus
The historical nature of the neighbourhood and city structures restrict the scope of development opportunities in Zurich city centre around the Zentrum site. ETH Zurich is therefore focusing on its H?nggerberg campus for the majority of its future space requirements.

Field-specific external sites
ETH Zurich engages in field-specific investment to develop further locations where this geographical proximity enhances collaboration on scientific activities with its research and industry partners and enables the shared use of infrastructure and technology platforms.
The BSS building in Basel
One example of this is the Department of Biosystems in Basel, for which ETH Zurich has built the new building BSS, which was inaugurated in 2024 on the University of Basel’s Sch?llem?tteli life sciences campus.
