Project büroUNIversum

7 phases to büroUNIversum 

The implementation of the büroUNIversum within an organizational unit or institute takes place in seven steps. It starts with the formulation of the assignment and ends with the closing event – in between lies an intensive process that develops over months. Individual and structural needs, working methods, and processes are analyzed and transformed into new furnishing concepts. The flexible working environment is new to many people, which is why managers and teams are supported through this change. 

Digitization as a prerequisite for new projects  

Flexible working models in the büroUNIversum require consistent digitalization. Institutes, organizational units, or departments that register for implementation should therefore already be on the path to digitalization.

Status büroUNIversum

The pilot project for the IT Services Office has been successfully implemented and an initial evaluation has been carried out. In parallel, the reservation tool project is in the implementation phase and is already being used by the IT Services Office. The room numbering system and the basic signage concept have now been finalised and have already been implemented in H6.

The GIUB project has been discontinued. Two proposals are being drafted and will be submitted to the University Executive Board for approval. Firstly, the current space allocation guidelines must be brought into line with cantonal requirements; secondly, a proposal is being made to migrate the entire H6 building to the büroUNIversum system. Depending on the decisions, the project H6 will be launched.
