A new centre for teaching, events, and encounter is proposed for the campus of Hochschule Meißen. Opposite the listed main building, two new structures will come together to form an L-shaped ensemble, creating – in dialogue with the existing buildings – a vibrant new campus square at the heart of university life.

The elongated teaching building will follow the primary axis of the campus, offering seminar and group rooms across approximately 4,000 m² of usable floor space. The more compact element will house the auditorium maximum and establish a public presence – one that extends beyond regular teaching hours to accommodate events open to a wider audience. Both parts of the building will be independently accessible and fully operational in their own right.

The façades respond directly to the uses they serve: transparent glazed surfaces mark entrances and foyers, while quieter, more considered elevations frame spaces designed for focused work. Inside, open learning areas along the central circulation zone invite exchange and informal collaboration. The campus square itself – with seating areas, bicycle parking, and landscaped greenery – will become an outdoor space for study and social life alike.

The architecture brings together precise building volumes, a carefully differentiated vertical composition, and a respectful engagement with the existing context. The teaching building presents itself as a calm, elongated form with a rationally articulated façade. The auditorium, by contrast, asserts itself as a compact, public volume with a clearly legible identity of its own.
