Refurbishment of the Leuphana Campus: Do the linden trees stop?
What is going on on the Leuphana campus in Lüneburg? You could say: a lot! The campus is currently a construction site where excavators and construction fences shape the picture. But while the construction work is flying, a big topic is noticeable - the future of the linden trees. Resident Sabine M. expresses her concerns that all linden trees should be felled. But the university spokesman Dr. Give Markus Lemmen's all -clear: the linden trees should stop. With the modernization and renovation, an important piece of nature is preserved on campus.
The measures that are currently in full include include extensive work that aims to modernize the campus and at the same time increase the quality of stay. This includes the exchange of the windows in the former barracks buildings from the 1930s and the removal of the concrete roads that were once used for tanks. An imported goal here is the striving for a car -free or low -car campus.
planned projects for a sustainable future
The concept provides for many projects to create a contemporary teaching and learning environment. Among the planned projects are:
- renovation and expansion of the cafeteria
- renovation of the former shop line (building 25)
- renovation of the lecture hall building 9
- renovation of the supply lines
- New construction of a parking range between building 14 and Scharnhorststraße
- Establishment of a new photovoltaic system
- New construction of a research greenhouse for the faculty sustainability between building 12 and 14
The measures to improve the micro climate are also not to be neglected. The university has set itself the goal of increasing biodiversity on campus. Some interesting initiatives such as the Leuphana Waldgarten and Biotopgarten not only offer the students a natural habitat, but also promote biodiversity. The forest garden is an ecological experiment and comprises 450 m², where students were able to develop a multi -layered ecosystem with edible plants. This tree garden will not only invite you to relax, but also serve as a place of education.
climate change and urban design
With regard to the challenges of climate change, urban design plays a crucial role. According to a report by the Fraunhofer IBP, cities are particularly affected by the urban heat island effects that lead to an increase in temperatures. This is where the new planning of Leuphana come into play. By improving the green areas and the creation of fresh air bars, the negative effects of the heat could be noticeably alleviated.
With a city -friendly urban design and through targeted measures, overheating in cities can also be reduced. The focus on natural elements, such as the new garden projects on campus, could make a valuable contribution here to create a more livable environment. The university is therefore not only the teaching, but also to protect our surroundings - this is a strong sign of a sustainable future.
We can be excited to see how the Leuphana campus will develop in the next few years. One thing is certain: the combination of modern architecture and natural elements could be a model for many other universities and cities.
