Investment Overview
Roche plans to invest 3 billion Swiss francs over the next 10 years in its Basel site. This investment includes the construction of a new research and development center, a state-of-the-art office building, infrastructure upgrades, and the renovation of a historic office building.
Research Center
The new research center will consist of four integrated office/laboratory buildings of varying heights, replacing the current Building 74. Scheduled for completion between 2021 and 2022, it will house 950 office and 950 laboratory workplaces, designed to meet modern requirements and facilitate teamwork among research staff. The total investment for the research center is 1.7 billion Swiss francs.
Office High-Rise
A new 205-meter tall office building, known as Building 2, will be constructed to accommodate up to 1,700 employees. This building aims to consolidate staff currently spread across Basel and is expected to be ready by 2021. The projected investment for this building is 550 million Swiss francs.
Infrastructure Projects
Approximately 700 million Swiss francs will be allocated to upgrading existing buildings and infrastructure. This includes a new logistics center, a workshop, fire service, Medical Service, and local site organization. Additionally, an underground car park and 1,500 new bicycle parking stands will be created.
Historic Building Renovation
Building 21, designed by Otto R. Salvisberg and constructed in 1937, will undergo a complete renovation to meet modern energy efficiency standards and building infrastructure requirements. The renovation, scheduled to begin in early 2016 and last around two years, will preserve the building's historical appearance. The investment for this project is 85 million Swiss francs.
