Novartis Campus Basel, Gelände im Basler Stadtteil St. Johann
Novartis Campus Basel is a large institutional complex housing modern buildings designed by acclaimed architects such as Frank Gehry and David Chipperfield. The site integrates workspaces, green zones, and art installations connected by walkways and interior courtyards that encourage movement throughout the area.
The site was originally an industrial district that Novartis transformed into a research and innovation hub reflecting the company's pharmaceutical mission. Basel has long been a center for pharmaceutical development, and this campus represents a contemporary chapter in the city's scientific heritage.
The campus functions as a collaborative hub where people gather in cafes and outdoor areas to connect and exchange ideas. Artworks exploring scientific themes shape the environment and cultivate a culture of curiosity and shared learning.
The campus is easily accessible by public transportation and features walkways along the river promenade and interior courtyards for exploration. On-site facilities include restaurants, cafes, shops, and a fitness center, making it comfortable for visitors to spend time here.
A striking 60-meter-tall mural called 'Structure of Life' adorns a modern laboratory building and draws inspiration from the spiral shape of DNA. This artwork is visible from a distance and embodies the interplay between scientific innovation and artistic expression that defines the site.
