WiSo High-Rise
Study spaces in the Scholar Centre 1
Lively and multifunctional! There is a variety of spaces for communication, from the ground-floor foyer to the group study rooms on the first floor and the rooftop lounge on the eighth floor of the WiSo high-rise. These spaces invite you to collaborate and exchange ideas in both small and large groups.
Is there strength in silence? The basement's nearly 100 individual workstations, each equipped with lighting and power sockets, provide an ideal environment for focused study. Alternatively, you can unwind in the foyer, the rooftop lounge or on the roof terrace. Does that sound like music? In fact, there is music: Help yourself with a piano (now in the rooftop lounge).
Life without coffee is possible, but pointless? When you need a recharge, you can refuel with delicious, healthy brain food at the WiSo Coffee Bar on the ground floor.
