Karl-Möhler-Holzbaulaboratorium

“A laboratory built of wood?” a student wondered aloud, staring at the Karl-Möhler-Holzbaulaboratorium. “Seems a bit ironic, doesn’t it?” The Karl-Möhler-Holzbaulaboratorium at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, building 10.87, isn’t just a building. It’s a testament to the innovative spirit of timber construction. Built in 1974, this two-story structure stands as a hub for aspiring engineers. They delve into the intricacies of timber design and construction. Within its walls, the Laboratory Internship takes place. First-semester Bachelor students spend their Monday afternoons here, from 2 pm to 5:15 pm, immersed in hands-on learning across various institutes within the faculty. This isn’t just any internship. It’s a carefully curated experience. Students rotate through four different sub-courses over two consecutive weeks. Each sub-course offers a unique glimpse into a specialized area of study. The Karl-Möhler-Holzbaulaboratorium is more than just a building. It is a launchpad for future innovators. They are shaping the world of timber construction. It’s a place where theory meets practice. Students gain the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their chosen field. The successful completion of each sub-course within the Laboratory Internship is marked by a certificate of attendance from each respective institute. After collecting all four certificates, students achieve the coveted “Laboratory Internship” pass. This achievement is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and mastery of the fundamentals of timber construction. This accomplishment is officially recorded in the Campus-System at the semester’s end, solidifying their progress in their academic journey.
