The new NEST unit is slowly taking shape

The building work on the new Solar Fitness & Wellness unit is making steady progress. From August onwards, users will be able to enthusiastically indulge their sporting passions and then afterwards no less enthusiastically relax and recover from their efforts. Walls are springing up from the ground, a complete staircase swings overhead and drone buzzes around filming the activity. What seems like the set from a fantasy film is in fact the construction work for the new unit of NEST, the modular research building on the Empa campus in Duebendorf. Solar Fitness & Wellness, as the new unit is named, is slowly taking shape. Mark Zimmermann, whose brainchild the unit is, says: «We are on schedule with the building work. The next step is the attachment of the outer walls, following which the facade will be put in place and the interior finished.
