Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences has expanded with a three-storey modular extension that houses lecture theatres and laboratories. The new building, designed by architect Marion Sammet, harmonises with the surrounding buildings thanks to its anthracite grey “Swisspearl Patina” façade and combines the look of exposed concrete with the advantages of a lightweight construction. This façade is also robust, offers protection against impact and is low-maintenance. The fibre cement panels are also classified as non-combustible, which increases the safety of the building. With this building project, TH Ingolstadt is focussing on sustainability and modern architecture.
