Building Developments at the University

General Information

With its new and exciting research projects and wide range of degree programs, Hochschule Geisenheim University is constantly evolving. There have also been plenty of changes taking place at our Geisenheim campus over the last few years. This includes the development of five new buildings, some of which are already completed and others of which are still being built.

  • The Food Safety Building and the Food Logistics and Sustainability Building were put into operation in April 2024. 
  • The new Lecture Hall Building and our new Beverage Technology Center are now in the final construction phase, and both should be completed in the course of the year.
  • Construction has started on the planned Viticulture Adaptation Center for Sustainability and Climate Change (VITA), which is set for completion in 2026.
