CAMPUS IN CHANGE

Construction projects at TU Dortmund University

TU Dortmund University is expanding to provide more space for the increasing number of students and employees. In addition, some existing buildings are being renovated. Therefore, building projects worth around 300 million euros are currently being realized on the campus and in the near future.

Through these projects, the necessary space for research, study, teaching and modern workplaces is created. The Corporate Center Construction and Facility Management is working towards minimizing the temporary disruptions caused by the construction sites and asks for your understanding if any disturbances occur.

The building will be realized with the energy efficiency standard Effizienzgebäude 40. For further information, please consult the FAQ page.

  • Location: Otto-Hahn-Str. 3

Renewal of the Central Drinking Water Supply

In several construction phases, the drinking water pipes in the outdoor area on campus will be renewed. We ask for your understanding for possible disruptions due to earthworks and temporary parking lot closures.

In this context, a new central for firefighting water supply is being built on Emil-Figge-Straße in close proximity to the HVDC test center.

Dismantling of Storey Building V

The building has been vacant for several years due to the presence of pollutants. Starting at the end of March 2024 until approximately March 2025, Storey Building V, which is located on the South Campus (August-Schmidt-Straße 12), will be dismantled. The professional remediation of the pollutants will be carried out under strict protective measures in order to rule out any risk to passers-by and the environment. We apologize for any unavoidable inconvenience during the dismantling process due to noise, dust, vibrations, construction site traffic and temporary parking lot closures.
