Topping out ceremony for four new lecture theaters at FAU Campus Erlangen
Construction work is scheduled to be completed by the coming winter semester
Four new lecture theaters in two highly efficient and sustainable timber frame buildings: On Friday, March 17, 2023, the topping out ceremony for both buildings took place on the FAU Campus Erlangen (South). Vice President Prof. Dr. Andreas Hirsch noted the significance of the event: “Our University is in the middle of a decade of change and modernization. These two new lecture theaters are an important part of the future of FAU and will make a lasting improvement to the University.”
Both buildings mean that FAU will have four modern and attractive lecture theaters with a total of 1,658 seats on the FAU Campus Erlangen (South). The project, which cost 22.5 million euros, was planned with sustainability in mind and is a timber construction using untreated wood of a single variety and erected with the greatest possible avoidance of petroleum-based insulating materials.
