The new office block will be built eastwards onto the existing main building. The offices along the railway lines will be extended by the addition of a further two floors and then connected to the new block and the existing buildings. This will ensure optimum use of available space and the best possible integration into the existing buildings. The project will ease the space constraints imposed by Atel’s growth in recent years. The top floor of the new building will house a spacious energy trading floor. The offices should be ready for use by early 2008 at the latest. There will also be changes to the Atel parking area: the old building on Aarburgerstrasse is to be demolished so that the car park can be extended.
The construction phase, which will run from April 2006 to December 2007, will inevitably cause some inconvenience to pedestrians and road users in the vicinity of the main Post Office. The bus stop has been transferred from Unterführungsstrasse to Postplatz to make room for the construction installations. There may also be some temporary obstructions as a result of building work.
