The planned new buildings MITTE1|2 mark the first step in the overall structural renewal of the USZ. The new buildings are of central importance in order to be able to meet the requirements of modern medicine in the future. Among other things, the buildings will house a new emergency center, over 300 beds, 23 operating rooms, and an intervention center for stroke and heart patients.
In addition to the construction of the MITTE1|2 buildings, which are scheduled to commence operations in 2031, further new buildings and extensive renovations are planned on the core site of the University Hospital Zurich over the coming decades. Some of the existing buildings are over 70 years old and no longer meet the requirements of modern cutting-edge medicine. Medicine has changed fundamentally in recent decades and now places different demands on premises and operating procedures. The complete refurbishment of the listed WEST wing is also planned from 2028.
With the construction of the hospital of the future, we are creating the conditions to ensure that future generations will also be able to work at the USZ under the best possible conditions and provide patients with state-of-the-art, cutting-edge medical care. As a pioneer for health and quality of life, the USZ consistently aligns its buildings to the needs of the people.
