From May 19 to 21, 2025, an on-site visit took place at the Department of Architecture as part of the institutional evaluation. The evaluation commission, headed by Prof. AA Dipl.(Hons) Achim Menges (University of Stuttgart), held intensive discussions with representatives of the department, students, cooperation partners and the Executive Board during these days. The aim was to discuss the future strategic development of the department and to jointly set the course for the future.

The on-site visit focused on the topics of research strategy and appointment planning, studying and teaching, xchange and spaces for research and teaching.

The experts' final evaluation report is expected in July 2025. Based on these results, it is planned to reach an agreement on objectives between the department and the Executive Board in the winter semester 2025/26 in order to promote further strategic orientation.

We would like to thank everyone involved for the constructive discussions and look forward to the next steps!
