More shaded places along the Magistrale

Initial situation up until November 2025

Irchel
  • 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.
