Library
More room will be reserved for the library on the new campus. In addition to a larger number of workspaces, there will be visually and acoustically separated booths which allow users to study and work even more undisturbed than before. The garden outside the library will accommodate a modern open-air classroom – comfortable benches with electricity supply and WLAN make open teaching outdoors possible.
Canteen
The canteen will grow in size as well and serve as the connecting element between the existing building and the new one. In future, the canteen will offer 240 seats inside and more than 70 in the outdoor area.
