Swiss contractor Implenia has won a raft of deals worth $496m, including research, residential, modernisation and school construction projects.

At the University of Bern, the company will build a medical research and training centre on the northern side of its Inselspital site, merging five institutes of the medical faculty in one building.

Bern’s government has hired Implenia for this work, which is already under way and is due to be completed in July 2028.

The facility will contain laboratories and office space, as well as training and meeting rooms, across seven above-ground and five underground floors.

In Zurich‘s Oberland region, Implenia will build eight residential buildings with 90 owner-occupied apartments on behalf of Swiss pension fund the Seraina Investment Foundation.

The project will contain large outside areas, a shared underground parking garage and commercial space on the ground floor.

Construction will begin this summer and is due to be completed in October 2027.

In a French-speaking area of Switzerland, Implenia will convert an old factory into housing, workplace and business spaces.

The company will turn an inner-city building into a mixed-use property with retail and office space.

Implenia will also build two large school buildings, one in Switzerland and the other in Germany.
