Spenglerpark Campus

As the Swiss subsidiary of Bouygues Bâtiment International, Losinger Marazzi AG undertook the comprehensive renovation and extension of the historic Spenglerpark site in Münchenstein, at the gateway to Basel. The project converted a landmark location—once home to Spengler fashion house—into a state-of-the-art hub for business, logistics, and services. At the heart of the site is the newly raised and renovated Building A, now home to the Campus Bildung Gesundheit (Health & Education Campus) serving the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft.

With direct tram access and proximity to Basel’s main railway station and highways, Spenglerpark offers outstanding connectivity for students, staff, and professionals. The new campus brings together 1,500 apprentices, 1,000 students, over 1,000 continuing education participants, and 270 teachers, all benefitting from modern infrastructure including a shared library, auditorium, and a bright central foyer accommodating 500 people. The campus is designed to foster interaction, transparency, and the permeability between disciplines.

Losinger Marazzi AG managed the entire project in just 23 months, demonstrating exceptional skill in complex renovation and extension works. The original 1971 building underwent seismic upgrades, full environmental remediation, and a vertical extension with two new floors. Innovative construction methods—including prefabricated metal cassette façade modules with triple-glazed windows, and the use of lightweight walls—minimized gray energy and disruption.

Spenglerpark now meets the stringent Minergie and Minergie-ECO standards for energy efficiency, with a fully automated building management system. A 1,360 m² photovoltaic system (300 kWp) powers the site, and green “lungs” cut into the façades provide light and encourage biodiversity. Particular attention was paid to acoustic comfort, with heating/cooling ceiling sails and high-performance insulation. On-site work was coordinated to protect the neighboring Natural History Museum's collections and integrate with other renovations on the campus.
