364.3 million requested for federal buildings<\/h1>\n

The Federal Council has adopted the 2021 dispatch on the construction needs of Switzerland, from the Swimming Centre in Tenero to the administrative unit in Zollikofen<\/em><\/h3>\n

Federal Council requests 364.3 million for federal buildings
\nAt its meeting on 19 May, the Federal Council adopted the 2021 Dispatch on Buildings, in which it asks Parliament for commitment credits in the amount of CHF 364.3 million.
\nOf this amount, 118.8 million francs are earmarked for federal projects for the promotion of sport and 245.5 million for civil engineering.
\nThe two most important projects are the construction of a replacement building for the Swimming Sports Centre in Tenero in the canton of Ticino and a new building as part of the fourth construction phase of the Bern Administration Centre in Zollikofen.<\/p>\n

The 2021 dispatch on real estate includes two major construction projects, which will be implemented as part of the “Federal government’s sports building programme”.
\nThe latter was adopted by the Federal Council and forwarded to Parliament in 2016, together with the report “Federal Action Plan for the Promotion of Sport”.
\nAlready today, the National Sports Centre in Magglingen has problems with a shortage of space in buildings for sport and the promotion of top sport in the army.
\nThe new building will house accommodation and training facilities and complement the existing buildings. A budget of CHF 27 million has been set aside for this project.
\nThe federal government plans to invest CHF 91.8 million in the construction of a replacement building for the Swimming Sports Centre in Tenero, which is part of the Tenero National Youth Sports Centre (TSC).
\nThe new building will provide optimum conditions for both popular and top-class sports during the summer and winter seasons. The construction work will be carried out in stages and will not result in any significant interruption to activities.<\/p>\n

Fourth phase for administrative centre outside Bern<\/h4>\n

The eight-storey building to be constructed in the fourth phase of the Zollikofen administrative centre is the conclusion of the development of the Meielen site.
\nIt will provide 400 workstations with their associated premises and will cost an estimated CHF 48.5 million.
\nIn order to complete the transformation to flexible forms of working in the Federal Administration and to achieve greater efficiency and lower costs in the provision of workstations, further suitable buildings are required.
\nThe fourth stage in Zollikofen makes an important contribution in this regard and is a further milestone in the implementation of the Master Plan 2024 (SD 2024), which envisages the concentration of administrative units at specific locations.
\nIt is also an essential prerequisite for the optimal introduction of flexible working arrangements and shared workstations in the Federal Administration.
\nThanks to the multi-space standard, the new building in Zollikofen offers the necessary space for this development.<\/p>\n

\nIn addition, there is the commitment credit “Other building projects 2021” of CHF 170 million, which will be used for projects not specified in the dispatch.
\nThis also includes construction projects of the Federal Office for Buildings and Logistics costing less than CHF 10 million.<\/p>\n
