At the start of the 2018/2019 winter term, all buildings of the new campus of the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences (HSD) are in operation. To mark the occasion, a housewarming party was held last Friday.

During the ceremony at the main lecture hall, Christine Nickl-Weller outlined the fundamental considerations that inspired Nickl & Partner Architects‘ multi-award-winning design of the HSD in 2009.

On the site of a former abattoir in Düsseldorf’s Derendorf district, a forward-looking campus has been created, which combines a characteristic architectural language and state-of-the-art equipment with sensibly restored pre-WWII buildings. At the heart of the campus is a spacious green centre, which leads to a greenway that connects the campus across its borders with the surrounding districts.
