Research II Medicine Campus Davos, Davos

As an international centre of competence, the Medicine Campus Davos combines research, therapy and education in one place. To expand research activities, particularly in the fields of allergy, asthma and cardiology, and to promote translational scientific approaches, a further building was constructed: Research II.

The new building is located in the north-east of the Medicine Campus Davos. It is part of a comprehensive master plan that is gradually implementing the vision of an innovation location. Research activities were expanded with the building and space was given to translational approaches.

Research II complements the existing Research I building with additional laboratory and office space and offers a modern research environment for the new future users. The architectural expression is based on the new buildings already realised as part of the master plan in order to emphasise the visual identity of the research location.

A striking cascading staircase as the centrepiece of the building.

The long access zone with several entrances to the rental areas opens up the possibility of setting up future sub-addresses. The building structure allows future conversions without the need for upfront investments.

An important feature of the interior design concept is a multifunctional body. This serves as a meeting zone and contains other important uses such as meeting and telephone niches. At the same time, it serves to spatially separate the various work areas such as the individual and group offices or the open space areas.

The building was tailored to the needs of the various user groups, including the CK-CARE, Cardio-CARE and Davos BioSciences research programmes already located on the site, with a fixed budget.
