This capacity means that the entire law library is finally accessible to everyone at one location. Up to now, this had been divided between two locations on the main campus.© Felix Clebowski / Universität Bremen Bild 5/8 Many of the former bank offices were retained and are now being used by administrative staff and teachers. Very wide hallways provide several spaces for seating.© Felix Clebowski / Universität Bremen Bild 6/8 Some offices were connected to create smaller seminar rooms for about 30 people as well as larger lecture rooms with around 135 seats. The new offices are flooded with natural light through glass panels to the hallway and windows into the building’s courtyard.© Felix Clebowski / Universität Bremen Bild 7/8 As on the campus in Bremen-Horn, Forum at Domshof will also offer several study spaces for students to use for group work. This round room, which offers a view of the cathedral courtyard, is particularly beautiful.© Felix Clebowski / Universität Bremen Bild 8/8 The red carpet, the high windows, and the view of the city center create a great atmosphere for learning.© Felix Clebowski / Universität Bremen
With an area of over 18,000 square meters, the Domshof offers plenty of space for studying, teaching, and working. Our building guide shares information about getting around in the new location. Three law students talk about the move and their experiences with the new building in this article .
