Topping-out ceremony

On September 13, 2024 - after 15 months of construction - the completion of the building shell was celebrated with a topping-out ceremony. Minister Reinhold Jost, Minister Jakob von Weizsäcker and University President Professor Ludger Santen were present at the ceremony. The state is constructing the new research building with financial support from the federal government at a cost of around 49 million euros.
