The University of Bremen is richer by a new building – and one of striking architectural design: The MARUM Pavilion belonging to the Center for Marine Environmental Sciences. Over the years, MARUM – one of the world’s leading institutes in marine research – has been constantly growing until it was literally bursting at its seams. The additional rooms are very necessary.

Shortly, a total of 35 research personnel will be moving into the new offices encompassed by the Pavilion. The building also contains a large 100 square meter open area which, among other things, will be used to analyze marine samples.

Dr. Florence Schubotz and Prof. Heiko Pälike are two of the researchers who came to Bremen because of the excellent research conditions. Their work at the MARUM is explained in our new Yearbook.

A video clip (in German only) produced by the University’s Press and Communications Bureau will take you on a tour of the new building in Leobener Straße.
