Lift planning for the University of Zurich (UZH)

At the Uni­ver­si­ty of Zurich’s new edu­ca­tion and research cen­tre, the “FORUM UZH“the lifts have to move up to 6,000 peo­ple a day. When plan­ning the required lift sys­tems, the move­ment pro­files of the var­i­ous build­ing func­tions such as lec­ture the­atres, offices, lan­guage lab­o­ra­to­ries, fit­ness areas and restau­rants must be tak­en into account. The cor­rect lay­out and dimen­sion­ing of the lifts ensures that researchers, stu­dents and vis­i­tors do not have to wait, but can get to the right place in the build­ing in the short­est pos­si­ble time.

And this is where SOLTIC came into play. We are involved in the project as lift plan­ners. We ensured the effi­cient plan­ning and design of the lift sys­tems for this mul­ti­func­tion­al uni­ver­si­ty build­ing. Our tasks also includ­ed the prepa­ra­tion of the nec­es­sary ten­der doc­u­ments and the sub­se­quent super­vi­sion of the real­i­sa­tion.

About the “FORUM UZH”

The build­ing is being con­struct­ed in the heart of Zurich’s city cen­tre oppo­site the his­toric main build­ing of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Zurich. The archi­tects respon­si­ble are Her­zog & de Meu­ron.

We are delight­ed that FORUM UZH received the build­ing per­mit in March and that con­struc­tion will begin at the end of August 2024. ‍Com­ple­tion is planned for 2029.

At SOLTIC, we are com­mit­ted to the future. We are there­fore proud to be able to con­tribute to the future via­bil­i­ty of Zurich as a uni­ver­si­ty loca­tion.
