Facilities and Support

Locations and work spaces

Locations

All locations of the Angewandte, from the main building to all other sites, can be found at University/Locations.

Student work spaces (STARs)

In the Schwanzer-Wing at the main site Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz are a number of working spaces available for students, so called STARs.

  • Bookable STARS can be reserved in advance through the room coordination service for a maximum of 3 weeks in total. Since these rooms can be locked and the person responsible for the booking receives the key it is possible to temporarily store materials or objects in these STARs.

  • Not lockable STARs are available to be used flexibly and spontaneously at any time.

The layout plan shows which STAR-rooms are bookable and which are freely available.
