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 is being 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. The research activities will be expanded with the building and translational approaches will be given space.
Research II extends the existing building Research I 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.
The building structure allows for future conversions without the need for upfront investments.
Inside, a striking cascading staircase forms 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 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.
