Atelier Guggisberg contributes to the new RTS production center
Atelier Guggisberg contributes to the new RTS production center in Ecublens by ensuring the manufacture of the curtains.
The future RTS production center, known as the RTS Campus, aims to modernize and consolidate media activities. Located near EPFL and UNIL, it will bring together radio, television, and digital production. OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen designs the architecture, while Fehlmann Architectes manages the execution.
This modular space of over 5,000 m² promotes collaboration, media integration and adaptation to new modes of audiovisual production.
The move is driven by the limitations of the buildings in Lausanne and Meyrin. The new structure aims to offer Swiss media giants greater flexibility, cutting-edge technology, and improved working conditions tailored to modern needs.
Atelier Guggisberg designs acoustic and thermal (sun protection) curtains that combine functionality and aesthetics. High-quality and tailored to the client's specific requirements, these curtains will improve acoustics and light control while adding a decorative touch. The project will utilize 2,700 meters of Swiss fabric Création Baumann, with installations staggered throughout the year.
Thanks to this centralisation, RTS will reduce its surface area by 25%, its operating costs by about 30%, and will have public spaces to host events and collaborations with schools.
The center will adhere to strict environmental standards, with efficient energy systems and sustainable materials. Construction is progressing on schedule, with partial commissioning by mid-2025 and full opening in 2026.
Even from outside the building, you can see the impressive curtains (over 5 meters high).
Updates will be provided as the project progresses.
