The Mathematics/Physics Department Library Shows Off Its New Look

On April 28, 2022, the newly renovated library for the Mathematics and Physics departments was officially opened during a ceremony. With its bright and welcoming atmosphere, it invites students to find the right academic literature and use it for studying right there on site. Upon entering, users first arrive in the area housing the traditional shelves of print media. In the adjacent area, there are seating areas in the center featuring colorful lounge furniture, surrounded by separate, similarly furnished study rooms. As a result, students will now be able to benefit from an innovative learning center with numerous group study rooms right in the heart of the campus.

At the opening, Subject Specialist Dr. Carina Heisel welcomed numerous guests, including representatives from the university leadership, the university library, the departments, as well as Department 5 (Construction, Technology, and Energy) and the State Agency for Real Estate and Construction Management. Ralf Werner Wildermuth, Director of the University Library, took those present on a brief journey through time, reviewing the history of the project from planning to completion. Due to the COVID-19-affected semesters, the handover of the renovated library in 2021 had taken place very quietly.
