Inside, the Libeskind auditorium, with a capacity of up to 1,100 seats, is a focal point. The building’s design, by architect Daniel Libeskind, involved student seminars and a summer school, truly reflecting the collaborative spirit of the university. The Leuphana Universität Lüneburg Zentralgebäude C40 is more than just aesthetics. It is a testament to sustainable construction. Its design minimizes the need for cooling and reduces electricity consumption for ventilation and lighting. Natural ventilation through openable windows, combined with a self-shading facade and switchable glazing, helps regulate the internal temperature. The building is also part of a climate-neutral campus complex, heated with low exergy and incorporating features like PCM cooling ceilings and LED lighting. It has even been nominated for the German Sustainability Award, highlighting its commitment to environmental responsibility.
