Investment contributions
In the case of investment contributions, we differentiate between so-called mobile assets and real estate (immobile assets).
Since 2019 we have been the building owner, but do not own the buildings. We manage the related investment accounting and asset accounting on a fiduciary basis.
Around 50 mCHF per year is invested in mobile assets, i.e. research and teaching infrastructure as well as IT hardware and other infrastructure equipment.
In the next years, the Canton of Zurich is expected to invest around 200 mCHF annually in our real estate. This will include urgent maintenance and renovation work as well as new buildings. The costs incurred will be charged to us as "rents".
