Location Development

Achieving Sustainability

The branch for location development is responsible for enlivening the different locations of the ETH Zürich. These include the Autumn and Spring Market, which were conceived in the 2009 student ideas competitions for Science City, or the communal garden "Seed City", which was the product of the 24 hour sustainability workshop "ecoworks".

David Müller and his team are working towards linking the two ETH locations in the city center and on Hönggerberg even more closely in the future. Initiating the "Science City Link" service, as wall as continually developing transport connections in general are part of this effort. Moving closer together is also practiced by Staff Division, which in both locations has an office that can be used according to task and client.
