Departmental library presents itself in new splendour

On 28 April 2022, the newly renovated library for the Departments of Mathematics and Physics was officially opened during a ceremony. With its bright and friendly ambience, it invites students to find the right subject literature and use it for learning directly on site.

Ralf Werner Wildermuth, Director of the University Library, took those present on a brief journey through time and reviewed the chronicle from planning to implementation. Due to the past Corona semesters, the handover of the renovated library in 2021 had been quiet.

The representatives of the Departments of Mathematics and Physics thanked the university management for the excellent support in the implementation of the project and all those involved for the constructive and largely smooth cooperation. The result of the work is impressive and will provide students with an excellent learning and working environment. With the return to a semester of attendance, it will certainly not be long before the newly created usage possibilities are discovered and in corresponding demand.
