The planning team led by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilgsanter.ch\/\">Ilg Santer Architekten<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzziarchitetti.ch\/\">Buzzi studio d&#8217;architettura<\/a> won the competition for the headquarters of the Oncological Research Institute (IOR), which will provide 12 new research laboratories as well as training rooms, a library, a large catering area and an auditorium for at least 250 people. The engineers from L\u00dcCHINGER MEYER PARTNER supported the design work in the structural and fa\u00e7ade planning.<\/p>\n<p>The jury praised the winning project \u2018NEXUS\u2019 as innovative and surprising. Respecting the high architectural quality of the neighbouring building by Aurelio Galfetti, the positioning of two new structures and their autonomous volumetry has resulted in the creation of a high-level research and training campus. \u2018The new four-storey [research] building has a simple and efficient load-bearing structure.\u2019 (Jury). By reducing the vertical load-bearing elements to a minimum, the reinforced concrete skeleton structure responds ideally to the requirements of the special use of the building. The large spans of approx. 9 metres allow the individual laboratories to be arranged within the structural grid and ensure column-free and therefore completely flexible research rooms. Approx. 32 cm thick flat slabs made of recycled concrete rest on prefabricated concrete columns and four central stair cores. The mass of the slabs allows thermal energy to be stored, ensuring a very stable climate in the laboratories and reducing the susceptibility of the structure to vibrations that could affect the proper functioning of the laboratory instruments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ambitious new building project aims to strengthen Bellinzona as a research centre in Ticino with its three expanding institutes IOR, IRB and EOC.
