More shaded places along the Magistrale
Initial situation up until November 2025
- Not enough shaded areas in summer for relaxation, eating and socialising in the built-up inner area of the Irchel campus.
- Four plane trees with large crowns in a central location on campus.
- People sit/lie on the asphalt ground in the shade under the plane trees.
- In summer, there is usually a cooling breeze from the Zürichberg.
- Barrier-free accessibility.
Objectives:
- Upgrading an existing outdoor area to create a high-quality nearby recreational area tailored to the needs of staff and students.
- Better utilisation of existing landscape resources (central location, shade provided by tree canopy, cool air, barrier-free accessibility).
- Low operating costs.
