A boost for International Geneva
The Global Health Campus was created as a new space for international organizations, as part of Canton Geneva’s Jardin des Nations project, which aimed to support and expand International Geneva. For the first time, the GHC brought global health partners together in one place, close to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Construction of the building was completed in 2018.
Fostering Collaboration
The GHC is designed to foster innovation and knowledge sharing, with 50% of its space dedicated to collaborative tasks.
A central core structures the three wings, ensuring both fluidity and privacy. The building’s strength is underpinned by reinforced concrete.
The campus is enriched by a public promenade and a biodiversity-rich park, enhancing its surroundings.
- Floors: Seven office floors and two shared spaces
- Total Building Area: 41,696 m²
- Total Office Space: 28,093 m²
Environment & Sustainability
The GHC is Minergie certified – as it adheres to the highest Swiss standards for comfort, efficiency and value preservation. Minergie certification requires low energy consumption and maximal use of renewable energies.
In keeping with this, the GHC team works to reduce the building’s environmental impact as much as possible, by:
- Minimizing energy consumption for hot water.
- Recycling on each work floor and shared space.
- Providing reusable tableware in restaurants for takeaway.
- Selecting furniture compliant with the Product Environmental Profile.
- Using CO2 sensors in meeting rooms and open spaces to monitor efficiency and effectiveness centrally.
