The hub:biel is located in the western part of Bözingenfeld between the newly built Tissot Arena and the Biel Tennis Club. In addition to office space, it houses a 3,000-square-meter data center. The new building has a ground floor and four upper floors.

The building’s structure is a classic reinforced concrete skeleton construction, with the ceilings supported on walls and columns. Due to the unfavorable ground conditions, the building loads are transferred via a pile foundation. The ceilings and staircases are realized in fair faced concrete quality.
