Frequently asked questions

What has funding been provided for? Which projects have been approved so far?

New projects totaling nearly one billion euros have been launched. In Erlangen city center, for example, the renovation of the Himbeerpalast and a brand new lecture hall complex in Henkestraße. The renovation of our Anatomy building and the successive sewer rehabilitation works in FAU campus Erlangen (city center) have also been approved. Two prefabricated lecture complexes, new buildings for Technical Chemistry and the second construction phase of the Chemistry building as well as the necessary development measures including a parking garage are major projects in FAU Campus Erlangen (South) that have now been commenced using these funds. The sum mentioned above does not include other major projects that are already nearing completion (such as ECAP) or have already been initiated, but are being financed by different means, such as the commissioned building for Education Science (call for tender for rental premises in North Nuremberg) or the purchase of part of the Siemens premises in Erlangen (Siemensareal).

Which projects are next in the pipeline?

FAU hopes that other projects will still be approved, for example the renovation of the Schloss building in Erlangen, for which an application has already been drawn up. Applications are currently at the drafting stage or are already being finalized for other urgent projects (for example NHR, Kollegienhaus, Materials Science and Engineering, renovation of MHB building).
