NZZ printing center in Schlieren becomes education center
The real estate investment company Swiss Prime Site has purchased the former NZZ printing center in Schlieren. The new owner plans to preserve the buildings and convert them into a supraregional educational center, as the NZZ Media Group announced on Thursday.
In addition to infrastructure for training and further education as well as research and development, coworking spaces and rooms for the community, sport and culture are also planned, according to the press release. The location is ideal for this, as it is easily accessible and not far from existing universities and research institutions.
The purchase agreement was signed on Wednesday. The purchase price was not disclosed. The NZZ Media Group will use existing service premises in Schlieren as a tenant in future.
The NZZ Media Group announced the closure of the printing center in Schlieren in February. This decision was in response to the "considerable overcapacity in the Swiss newspaper printing market". The NZZ and its Sunday edition are printed by its competitor Tamedia. (SDA)
