Project description

The teaching building marks the start of Augsburg University's new medical campus and is in close proximity to the university hospital. As the first building on the planned 78,000 square meter campus, it forms the basis for combining theoretical education and practical medicine.

Core functions of the building:

  • Lecture rooms for up to 1,500 medical students
  • Modern seminar and internship rooms
  • Medical Library of Augsburg University Library
  • Interprofessional training center (Skills Lab)
  • Dean's Office of the Faculty of Medicine
  • Institute for Didactics and Training Research

Technical challenges

Complex building technology

The teaching building required the integration of the latest medical technology infrastructure. Coordination between various trades and compliance with medical standards placed particular demands on project management.

Start-up management

  • Systematic review of all technical systems
  • Coordination of approvals between client and contractor
  • Documentation of handover processes
  • Ensuring on-time operational readiness

Special features

Architectural concept

The 32-meter high building with its characteristic ceramic façade made of red glazed ceramic rods sets a distinctive accent and acts as a counterpart to the neighboring university hospital.

Combining theory and practice

The proximity to the university hospital enables an optimal connection between theoretical education and clinical practice — a central component of the Augsburg model study program in human medicine.
