An investment in the heart of EBS University

New construction, refurbishment and renovation measures on the campus Schloss in the Rheingau region.

Our world is constantly changing - like how we work, live, learn and teach. As a private educational institution, we must offer our students a modern and inspiring learning environment that meets the requirements of today and tomorrow.

Campus Schloss

Construction and renovation measures

Site plan of an area with several buildings, pathways, and green spaces, surrounded by vineyards. The arrangement of the structures and landscape elements is clearly and neatly presented.

With our campus development, we are pursuing a clear vision: not just creating a place to learn and work, but a lively space that encourages dialogue, promotes creativity and makes it possible to experience community. A place where students can acquire knowledge and develop personally, network and grow together. In this way, we want to make the campus a home where people enjoy spending time, for studying that goes beyond the lecture room.


The construction project at a glance

The extensive building project is divided into several sections and various construction projects. Two new buildings are being built on the campus: a modern forum and a multifunctional building containing lecture rooms and a canteen. Both the annexe and the castle building will be extensively modernised and restructured. In addition, the Walther Leisler Kiep Centre will be converted to provide adequate space for a spacious university library. The central part of the construction work will be completed by the end of 2025. The final construction phase will begin in 2026: the modernisation of the castle building.

Impressions

A modern building with large windows stands on the left side, while on the right side, there is a historic building with balconies. A cobblestone path runs between the two buildings.
For a while, it looked pretty bleak on our campus. To create a retention area for flood protection, we removed the vineyard temporarily and was replanted with vines and extended by the Winery Balthasar Ress in spring 2021.
A digger is working at a construction site, while in the background a river and a row of trees are visible. A mound of earth and a planted field can also be seen in the picture.
Further, we reduced the gravel area in front of the Walther-Leisler-Kiep Center. Also, a grass parterre with matching benches will be created, inviting students to come together.

Construction site with a concrete slab, surrounded by construction materials such as steel reinforcement and wooden scaffolding. In the background, a crane is visible, and a historic building can be partially seen.
The foundation for our new building is laid.
