Construction Measures ULB Stadtmitte

From the beginning of August to the end of November 2025, extensive construction work will be carried out inside the ULB Stadtmitte. On this page we inform you about the current status of the work and the progress.

Work begins with the installation of scaffoldings in the atrium and other areas. The various works will then be carried out successively:

Especially during heavy rainfall, water can penetrate the glass roof and drip down through the atrium. The glass roof needs to be repaired and sealed.

All sprinkler heads must be replaced to ensure fire protection. In the atrium area, this is only possible by opening the wooden panelling.

In the atrium area, inspection flaps will be installed in the wooden panels at all sprinkler heads to enable easy maintenance of the sprinkler system in future.

The lighting in the entire building is being converted to LED. The ULB Stadtmitte is one of the top 15 TU buildings in the electricity consumption category. By converting to LED, energy can be saved and maintenance costs reduced.

The ULB Stadtmitte has a building radio system, e.g. for the fire brigade. For the conversion from analogue to digital technology, new cables are being laid and holes drilled on a large scale.

Considerable noise pollution must be expected during all construction work. In addition, the workstations in the atrium area are not available during the entire construction period.

For quiet working, you can use the other ULB Locations Schloss und Lichtwiese as well as the Learning Spaces.

There may also be service restrictions.

Earplugs will be handed out free of charge at the Service & Information counter during the conversion period, while stocks last. Alternatively, you find an earplug dispenser on the ground floor.

We apologise for the noise and inconvenience and hope for your understanding!
