Sika Supports Sustainable Construction at ETH Zurich
Sika has joined ETH Zurich’s pioneering “Living Lab HIL” project as a funding partner. Through a significant contribution, Sika will support the project’s early phases – “Exploration” (2026), “Synthesis” (2027) and “Transfer” (2028). These stages will prepare the renovation and extension of ETH’s building for Architecture and Civil Engineering, which will serve as a real-world case study for circular, resource-efficient and digital construction. Living Lab HIL is a globally unique flagship initiative that will explore new approaches to sustainable construction until 2035. The project focuses on reducing CO2 emissions, advancing digitalisation and promoting circular construction practices. Researchers, students and industry partners will collaborate to develop and test innovative solutions for the future of the construction and real estate sectors, with the aim of implementing them during later stages of the project. “As an innovation leader in the construction industry, we want to actively help drive the transition toward more sustainable construction practices,” said Patricia Heidtman, Chief Innovation and Sustainability Officer at Sika. “Living Lab HIL provides a unique platform that connects research and real-world application and helps accelerate innovation.” “Industry and academia must work together to achieve climate targets. In collaboration with Sika, we are testing new solutions in Living Lab HIL that will be implemented during the renovation phase of the ETH building starting in 2030. With the support of leading industry partners, we can translate research innovations directly into practice and demonstrate how sustainable and circular construction will shape the future,” he said. Long-term partnership
