The slender, elongated building provides a clear boundary to the green space and closes the open courtyard situation of the existing buildings. The main entrance facing towards the Botanical Gardens divides the building into the teaching and seminar area to the west and the laboratories to the east. The interface between research and teaching unfolds as an open communication space with cafeteria and dayrooms that begins at the foyer and extends over several storeys.

This project was discussed in the network series “wieweiterarbeiten – Workspaces of the Future“.
