Two new buildings next to the Schwyz Hospital

On the area of the Schwyz Hospital, two new buildings are being built to complement the existing buildings - a multifunctional building (House M) and a multi-storey car park

The two new buildings are called House M and House P. In the new house M – the letter stands for multifunctional building – various uses are planned. These include, for example, service areas, staff rooms and areas used for medical purposes. The Schwyz Hospital is expanding its range of oncology services. Part of the area – on the ground floor and on the top floor – is available to external tenants. You benefit from various advantages due to the proximity to the Schwyz Hospital. For example, it is possible to use the restaurant or the seminar rooms in the house. In order to enable the different uses, the building consists of a load-bearing core as well as concrete ceilings and facade supports.

The new house P (Parking) brings together the currently different parking spaces on the site. The entrance is from Waldeggstrasse and leads through House M into a four-storey, predominantly underground car park without pillars. In addition to the window surfaces, the facade consists of massive, glazed parapet strips. The new surroundings are largely greened and supplemented with trees and bushes. The two buildings should be completed in spring 2022. ■
