Factsheet

 

OPEN SPACE AT THE CAMPUS WU


The Campus is a sequence of spaces that engage with one another and are qualified – in architectural terms - by the buildings. The guiding principle of the Master Plan has also determined the design of these spaces. A fabric of internal and external areas defined by the position of the entrances in relation to a succession of squares generates the desired atmosphere. more on landscape planning

 

CAMPUS WU – A SPECIAL PLACE FOR EDUCATION AND RESEARCH


With its present roster of some 23,000 students, the Vienna University of Economics and Business is quite bursting at the seams, which does not make it easy to study, to work and to research. That will change in 2013. There will be space for every student, every professor and every single faculty member. There will be space for communicating, for discussing, for exchanging ideas, for studying, for teaching, for researching, for discovering, for relaxing and for letting go.

The new 91,000 m2 location, between Messe (Fair) and the Prater, offers more space and the opportunity to set up a campus with multiple buildings. It is easily reachable via public transport and has direct access to the recreational area of the Prater. A good place arises among great surroundings.
