DSM-Firmenich Science and Research Center: a benchmark in advanced laboratory design that sets the path for HibLab Solutions
Scientific innovation requires spaces capable of evolving at the same pace as knowledge. The new DSM-Firmenich Research and Innovation Building in Kaiseraugst (Switzerland) is a clear example of how architectural design, laboratory planning and technology can be seamlessly integrated to create high-performance, collaborative and sustainable environments.
Developed by Wesemann Schweiz AG, this project is today an international benchmark in the design of scientific campuses and sets the standard for the services HibLab Solutions is now able to offer as part of the Wesemann Group.
Flexibility, safety and modern laboratory standards
One of the project’s key strengths is its long-term flexibility. The laboratories and workspaces have been designed to adapt to future changes in uses, technologies and equipment—an essential requirements in R&D environments.
The building integrates:
- Open laboratory spaces to foster synergies between teams.
- Specialized enclosures for highly complex technical equipment.
- Flexible offices and work areas.
- Advanced and highly secure technical infrastructure.
All these meets demanding technical specifications and high safety standards, which are fundamental in scientific and pharmaceutical research environments.
Comprehensive project management and on-time delivery
The project was managed in an integrated manner, from the initial building permit application through to completion. The scope included:
- Overall project management.
- Coordination with external planning partners.
- Control of detailed design and execution.
- Supervision of schedules, quality and safety.
