The two façades facing Hauptstrasse and Universitätsplatz are in the Neo-Renaissance style, based on the recently restored Friedrichsbau of Heidelberg Castle . The windows have heads as keystones. The coats of arms of Mannheim, Heidelberg and Baden are affixed above the windows of the second floor. There is a polygonal tower marker on the corner.
