The new building, costing around 20.8 million euros, was developed by the architects Grabow * Hofmann and completed in 2008. Since 2008 the A-building at Keßlerplatz has been fundamentally renovated in two steps. The first half was completed at the beginning of 2010, the second half in the winter semester 2012/2013.
