Inauguration of the New Children's Hospital – CHUV

The new Children's Hospital has been officially inaugurated and will welcome its first young patients from May 14, 2025. Following a complex construction process that began in 2019 at the heart of the Lausanne hospital city, the building will bring together most of the CHUV's pediatric activities, currently spread across two sites, in a facility specifically designed to meet the needs of children, adolescents, and their families.
Built by HRS as the general contractor, this sophisticated structure sets a new benchmark in the healthcare sector.
HRS extends its gratitude to the client for their trust, as well as to all the companies involved for their contribution to making this project a reality.
This milestone perfectly illustrates what we love to build: places that make sense, for today and for tomorrow.
