Darmstadt ⋅ An additional retreat in the middle of the campus and a clock tower with a glass dome that can be used as an observatory: These are two new additions worth seeing that teachers, students and guests of the Darmstadt University can look forward to. Last week, the two flagship locations were officially taken over with a small celebration hosted by Chancellor Manfred Efinger.
In particular, the eastern inner courtyard of the old main building on Hochschulstraße, which was redesigned for around 1.1 million euros, could quickly prove itself in the upcoming third Corona summer: because the area, which is barrier-free and can be reached via the reading courtyard of the university and state library, is ideal with tables, wooden benches and pedestals as an open-air workplace. Visitors can choose whether to sit in the sun garden on the south side of the courtyard or in the shade garden created opposite. At the center of the entire ensemble is the work of art “Spatial Movement”, which was made from a single tree trunk by the Freiburg sculptor Carl Walter Loth and at the request of the Technical University.
