PULSE, a modular innovation center in the heart of the Health Valley

Nestled in the heart of Western Switzerland’s Health Valley, the forthcoming PULSE Innovation Center in Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne is set become a destination of choice for life sciences and high-tech companies.

Encompassing a substantial 43,000 square meters of fully adaptable above-ground floor space, situated within two state-of-the-art buildings, and enhanced by 27,000 square meters of underground space allocated for parking, storage, and technical purposes, the PULSE Innovation Center aims to become one of Western Switzerland’s major vital innovation hubs. A hub where businesses can shape their innovative concepts into tangible advancements, all within an environment that’s both logistically optimized and characterized by its flexibility.

In the heart of the Health Valley, PULSE extends beyond providing state-of-the-art facilities by offering super-flexible floor plans, technical capacities tailored to the most stringent requirements, and the creation of synergies within an ecosystem of varied innovative companies. With eight distinct entrances, companies nestled within PULSE are assured of a clear, unique identity, facilitating smooth orientation for both clients and employees.

Boasting an infrastructure that’s both spacious and efficient, the Center comprises 12 truck loading-bays on the ground floor, two underground levels, and vertical cores equipped with lifts, ensuring safe, swift, and efficient distribution across all floors. Its high-ceilings and heavy-duty payload capacities, along with future-proof building services equipment, create a bedrock that’s adaptive to evolving technological and scientific demands.

Tenant fit-out to start in 2024

Embracing a robust infrastructure, PULSE melds meticulous logistical design with a plethora of on-site services, curating not only to the scientific and technical requisites but also weaving in the socio-cultural and wellness needs of its community. Offering an outdoor communal area, a public restaurant with wholesome culinary options, a dedicated fitness center, and a convenient in-house nursery, PULSE fosters an all-encompassing environment.

In addition, being based in Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne (canton of Vaud), the Center is only a 15-minute drive from downtown Lausanne and is conveniently located near three highway exits with a direct shuttle service to the Biopôle life sciences campus. Designed by Architram Architecture et Urbanisme and combining avant-garde design with pragmatic functionality, PULSE is on a trajectory to shape how forward-thinking companies conceptualize and carve their paths in Western Switzerland’s life sciences and biotechnology landscape.

Tenant outfitting is expected to unfold as early as summer 2024.
