Forum at Domshof

Seminars and lectures will take place in this location. The Juridicum, the legal library of the State and University Library Bremen, will also move to the new building, and will offer study spaces for students. The small concert hall in the "Die Glocke" concert building will be available for use as a lecture hall.

The Studierendenwerk Bremen will revive the NordLB's existing cafeteria with their student cafeteria. This will provide students, teaching staff, and employees with some meal options. 

In addition, there will be event and activity areas at "Forum at Domshof," which can be used by the entire university and can be booked by the public. For example, the former banking hall will be used for academic and participative events and conferences.

With roughly 1,500 students, 160 employees, and a faculty library, Faculty 06 was particularly suited for the partial relocation. Since there is little overlap with other degree programs, disruptions in course schedules can be prevented and academic feasibility ensured for all. 

In the 2024/25 winter semester, the small auditorium of the "Glocke" in the city center will be used as a large lecture hall for the 1st and 3rd semester law courses. Some of the lectures will continue to take place in GW1 building. You can find out where the respective courses will take place in the course directory.

Forum at Domshof has two parking levels. The 1st level is open to the public. Around 200 free bicycle stands are available there.

There are car parking spaces on the 2nd level, but these are reserved for students with disabilities who require a car. Parking is therefore not possible directly in Forum at Domshof. Public parking garages in the city center can be used for a fee.

The relocation of Faculty 06 and the legal library will free up around 10,500 square meters in the building GW1 and on campus. This area will then be used by Faculty 11: Human and Health Sciences.

No, the University of Bremen sees itself as a campus university, which is characterized by short distances between lectures and interdisciplinary collaboration. However, the university is also growing, which is a very positive development, and with this more space for lectures and employees is required, which is why the relocation of Faculty 06 was necessary.

At the moment, the university has no further plans to relocate to additional buildings in the city center. However, the option to use space in the city center for further research centers or student housing and work is not currently excluded.
