Businesses in the HWW open their doors
The new HWW building on the Hönggerberg is brought to life not only by the students who live there, but also by the businesses who have made it their home. On the upcoming open day on 17 May, visitors can find out what's on offer.
Living on campus as well as studying there dramatically reduces your commute, yet mobility remains a key issue for campus residents. That's why Zurich startup Ego Movement has set up shop in the HWW, offering E-Bikes and a variety of other bike-related services. Visitors will get the chance to test the E-Bikes at the open day, which the HWW service providers are organising together on 17 May. ETH members can also bring along their own bikes for an affordable spring overhaul.
For mind, body...
Other firms that have set up shop in the HWW include Projekt external pageNeptun, a hardware and software consulting service that offers mobile devices tailored to students; a hairdressing salon; and the "Äss Bar", which sells high-quality baked goods from the previous day at significantly reduced prices. The HWW is the first place that the Äss Bar has set down roots at ETH, supplementing its existing mobile food stand on the Zentrum campus.
... and soul
The external pageASVZ will also be presenting its new service on 17 May – a relaxation room. Visitors, including non-ETH members, will have the opportunity to take part in a lunchtime meditation session at the HWW.
Various competitions will also be held on the day, with total prizes up for grabs of more than CHF 1,000 – another great incentive to come and take a look around the HWW. The event organisers and employees of the HWW businesses are looking forward to an exciting day.
