Construction projects

The state of Rhineland-Palatinate has embarked on an ambitious construction program involving the renovation, modernization, and expansion of the Gutenberg Campus Mainz.

Between 2005 and 2020, about €1 billion will be put to use to finance the construction of new buildings and a series of renovation projects.

An important aspect of the more urban-oriented future development of the Gutenberg Campus Mainz is the redesign and reorganization of existing public spaces. In order to ensure that top-quality, representative, and communicative external public spaces will be developed, the project has been put out to trans-European tender. The objective is to develop an attractive public leisure and transit space free of private traffic that can become the backbone of the Gutenberg Campus Mainz.

Since 2005, a total of some €600 million has been spent on numerous new building and renovation construction projects including the following:

• the new Social Sciences building

• the Nuclear Physics replacement building

• the Institute of Molecular Biology

• the Laboratory for Molecular Exercise Physiology

• the new Physical Chemistry building

• the Green School in the JGU Botanic Garden

• the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry building

• the lecture halls for Chemistry and Physics

• the new School of Music building

• the Nuclear Chemistry extension building.

 

Further construction projects are currently in the planning phase:

• the Biology complex

• the new Helmholtz Institute Mainz building

• the provision of an interdisciplinary Media Studies Center (14-floor office building with a 6-floor studio complex)

• the new Central Library building.
