The Health Campus project is formally launched. The cantonal authorities symbolically laid the first stone this Thursday.
A true training center, the Health Campus will allow professionals to combine practice and theory in the same place. It will host the Vaud High School of Health, the La Source Institute and High School of Health, the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne and the Vaud University Hospital Center.
There will also be 500 student accommodations offered by the Fondation Maisons pour Étudiants Lausanne as well as a childcare center. In total, the Health Campus should accommodate 4,000 people who will come to learn and 1,000 who will work there.
And the Head of the Department of Education and Vocational Training assures him, the teaching there will be of high quality. In particular thanks to the technologies and infrastructure made available.
The Health Campus aims to address the labor shortage in health professions. So, with cutting-edge technologies and infrastructure, Frédéric Borloz hopes that the attractiveness of these professions will be enhanced.
There is a real desire to attract foreign talent to the site. But is there not a risk that these students or professionals will come to benefit from the infrastructure and then return to work in their country of origin?
The project also aims to be at the forefront in terms of sustainability. Thus, we will find local wood, water recovery, a passage for wildlife and even solar panels. Elements which were added to the project subsequently since it was another State Council which was at the origin of the Health Campus.
With this solar pergola system, placed above the green roof, it will be possible to produce more electricity than the site will consume.
