Scheer Tower
The new Scheer Tower building is the first of three planned high-rise buildings in the north of the university campus. The eleven-storey building with a basement extending down the slope offers office space for 240 employees.
The ground floor and basement house shared facilities such as the foyer, cafeteria and event rooms. The nine upper floors above are grouped around a central access and supply core, with offices, meeting rooms, communication rooms and ancillary rooms. Individual floors can be combined into units for specific uses as required. The top floor houses conference rooms and an open roof terrace with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.
The façade, made of red-coated aluminium sheets, makes the building appear as a landmark above the university campus.
