An excellent example of how to deal with historic buildings: the reconstruction of the listed Fritz Foerster building has been awarded “2024 German University Building Award”. In the heart of TUD-campus, former laboratories have been transformed into modern offices, now including the headquarters for the University of Excellence's central administration.

What would a campus be without the canteens, cafés and libraries? And we have some excellent ones to choose from here at TU Dresden. The SLUB is like a second home. And the cafés soothe the soul. If you want to take a look behind the scenes, the “At work with...” video series is just the thing for you.
