Educational institution moves to new location in Rotkreuz
XUND is building a new site on the Suurstoffi site in Rotkreuz. The new building there for the Central Switzerland Health Education Centre is being built by Zug Estates and is due to be ready for occupancy in 2028. The Alpnach training centre will then be closed.
XUND is opening a location on the Suurstoffi site in Rotkreuz. This is the Central Switzerland Health Education Centre’s response to the limited space available for its health training courses in Alpnach. According to a press release, the XUND site there can no longer fulfil the requirements in the long term due to the expected growth and changing training models. It will therefore be replaced by the new Suurstoffi 45 building. It is scheduled to be occupied in 2028. The Lucerne site will remain unaffected.
According to its own announcement, Zug Estates AG will construct the new building from the end of 2024 and complete it by mid-2027. The real estate company has signed a 30-year lease agreement with XUND for over 6,000 square metres of space. Alain Baumgartner, Head of Portfolio Management at Zug Estates, is quoted as saying that the company has found an “ideal partner in XUND, which fits in very well with the existing tenants on the Suurstoffi site”.
XUND President Josef Widmer is convinced that the Rotkreuz site will strengthen XUND’s regional roots in Central Switzerland and significantly improve accessibility for many students and trainees: “It will enable synergies with other educational partners such as Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts on site and open up opportunities for collaboration with practitioners and researchers. Thanks to the modern location and the innovative environment on the Suurstoffi site, training in the healthcare sector is becoming more attractive and is helping Central Switzerland’s training companies to secure the next generation of talent.”
