Messestrasse II

The new building of the Sigmund Freud University Vienna that has been constructed in the neighbouring plot to the existing building of the Sigmund Freud University Campus Messestrasse – also planned by Holzer Kobler Architekturen – provides ideal environment and learning conditions for students of medicine, dentistry and law. It houses lecture halls, seminar rooms, laboratories, faculty office spaces and a banquet hall. The ground floor is designed to create an atmosphere of welcome and symbolizes the heart of the building as entrance area as well as public courtyard, enlivened by several shops.

The spatial organisation of Messestrasse II as well as the academic and medical infrastructure correspond to the international standards and demands of current university buildings. Wrapped in a golden metal façade, the sculptural building interacts with the existing University campus and fits harmoniously, yet distinctively, into the neighbourhood.
