Swiss TPH builds new apartments at Bachgraben
Published
The Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) plans to build new apartments in the «Hope» new building at Bachgraben in the Basel region. The apartments are intended for students and guests of the institute. The Tropical Institute is an important research institution in the field of health and works closely with universities in Switzerland and abroad.
However, the area is zoned purely for commercial use. Apartments are normally not permitted in such zones. Nevertheless, the institute is building living space in the new building. The report does not explain in detail how this situation was regulated legally.
For the institute, the accommodation has a practical benefit. Students and guests from other countries often need lodging near the campus. With its own apartments, the institute can house these people more easily, especially when the housing market in the Basel region is tight.
The further development of the project will become visible in the coming months. Interested parties can find out more through the official announcements of Swiss TPH and the responsible authorities.
