The positioning and height staggering of the compact structures are based on the immediate surroundings. The pedestrian connections are continued from the existing campus and are connected quite logically in a new campus promenade.

 

The sculptural facade is designed using rear-ventilated aluminum cassettes, which creates a play of light and shadow. Aluminum is 100% recyclable and only 5% of the production energy is required as primary energy. Combined with the use of CEM III - concrete with recycled aggregate and CO2-reduced cement as well as the use of wood in the interior design, the focus is on sustainable building materials.
