Future of Food Building

The ZHAW's Reidbach campus is the home of the Future of Food. We are committed to creating a future where sustainable, enjoyable and healthy food is possible for everyone. With the motto "regenerative food for planetary health", we aim to find solutions to the challenges posed by climate change, the growing world population and limited natural resources.

From planning to occupancy

The new building (building RD) will be part of the Reidbach Campus on Einsiedlerstrasse in Wädenswil. The work on the interior is currently underway, and the ZHAW will be able to move into the building in autumn 2023. A brief overview:
