The 8-story building houses the institutes of Faculty 3: Chemistry, the University Library, and Energy Management. The renovation of the entire building and the lecture halls is due in the coming years.
Detail information on building areas
The nearest public transport stop is the S-Bahn stop "Universität"(lines S1, S2, S3). Only the exit "Universitätszentrum" has an elevator and is accessible. Most entrances are accessible, but not automated. The lecture halls 55.21 and 55.22 can be accessed via the elevators in the main building.
The main entrance is located on the east side of the building, under a covered passage. You have to pass the library on the left side and then turn right (glass doors). The entrance to the library is on the north side, directly from the main campus (revolving doors). Additional entrances are located all around the building. For the blind and visually impaired, we recommend to include the building in their mobility training, as it is very labyrinthine and angled and the entrances are difficult to find.
Most entrance doors are not sufficiently contrasted. The stairs are accessible only to a limited extent, step markings exist for the most part and are visible, the handrails are not barrier-free. Some of the corridors and room doors are not sufficiently contrasted and are inadequately lit. No tactile building information.
Accessible parking spaces of the university are located right at the building, at the back of no. 7 and 9 Pfaffenwaldring, and at 38 Universitätsstrasse. There is a public parking space on the corner of Pfaffenwald-/Allmandring.
The elevators are accessible.
Some doors can only be opened with great effort. Many doors have a clear width that is too small, and they do not provide sufficient maneuvering clearance.
There is an accessible restroom in the foyer on the ground floor, near the green elevator. Freely accessible
