The new building for the Faculties of Dentistry and Environmental Studies will be part of the Rosental Campus. The structure consists of parallel layers along Mattenstrasse, butting into Maulbeerstrasse. Rather than centering on a single large central courtyard the design offers several distinct outdoor areas that are carefully placed according to the space allocation plan. This decision is based on the fact that the open areas accessible to the public can be found in immediate proximity of the site.
