TUES 05.06.2012 - BASEL: "ACTELION - INNOVATION IN RESEARCH AND DESIGN"

Actelion’s new Business Center, which opened in early 2011, is clearly a symbol of the innovative spirit and culture of the company.  Designed by the Basel-based architects Herzog & de Meuron, the architectural concept is guided by the underlying theme of communication, one of Actelion’s core values.
