In the heart of Mannheim, the University – which includes the historic Baroque Palace - is being expanded through six new buildings to be used for teaching, IT, sports and student living. The buildings will be integrated into the palace gardens based on Mannheim's well-known urban grid and will be connected to the recreational areas on the Rhine with a new network of paths.
