The Siemens Zug campus is one of the first new projects to use Building Information Modeling (BIM) for design and construction. The campus complex is equipped with building automation, security and fire safety technology from Siemens BT and particular emphasis was placed on sustainability and energy efficiency of the buildings.

Siemens AG inaugurated its new campus in Zug on December 5th. According to the company, the investment volume for new buildings, renovations and related measures amounts to CHF 250 million. The campus is the international headquarters of the Siemens Building Technologies (BT) Division, which has 29,000 employees. Last year it posted worldwide sales of 6.6 billion euros. As Siemens reference projects, the buildings feature innovative building technology.

The three-storey production building has a height of 16 metres, a footprint of 125 x 50 meters and two production floors. The second upper floor of the building has 120 office spaces as well as additional space for occupational training and a laboratory. Delivery docks, nitrogen tanks and waste containers are integrated into the building to minimize noise for the neighboring residential area and to make it architecturally attractive.

The campus also includes an existing office and production building, scheduled for modernisation in 2021. Beginning in late 2022 it will house the approximately 450 employees of BT research and development. The city of Zug is taking over the former Siemens office building.

Construction of the office and production buildings began in May 2016 and was completed in July 2018.
