HE:AL CAMPUS

HEALTH AND LIFESCIENCE INNOVATION CAMPUS

A2M Architecture + EFFEKT

Esch-sur-Alzette/LUX | 2023 - ongoing

Concept Design / Competition (winner proposal)

An innovation campus to house startups and companies working in digital health and health tech, including medical equipment, in vitro diagnostics, and research.The goal of the project was to develop a mas- terplan for a regenerative campus, by using principles of sustainable design and regenarative architecture and circular economy.

A modular design approach that could evolve and adapt according to future user needs, minimize asphalt roads, maximize green spaces, and create a campus that is deeply integrated with nature, turning everyday life on the campus into an experience. The project is a crucial part of the city’s efforts to strengthen green and blue connections and regenerate fauna and flora along the river landscapes of Dipbech and Alzette.

Existing buildings, infrastructure, and resources will be reused and transformed, ensuring that the new campus is deeply connected to its surroundings. New buildings will be designed using passive house principles and parametric modeling with a focus on CO2 reduction, energy efficiency, and a healthy indoor environment. Modular flexibility will enable the buildings to adapt and evolve with changing needs and technologies.
