Land invests 23 million euros

The kitchen will be housed in a new expansion in the future. During the renovation, both the current catering service and the dining room can be continued. Only one container kitchen is rented. With the expansion, the previous edition is converted into a checkout area. This creates space for the guests: the number of seats is increased to around 670. Even after the renovation, the dining room remains the central place on campus, as the architects Auer and Weber originally intended.

During the renovation, a 390 square meter photovoltaic system is installed on the roof of the building. Average 57,000 kilowatt hours of electricity are generated per year. As a result, 34 tons of carbon dioxide (CO _{2 ) can be saved per year. The usable area is increased from around 2,900 square meters to over 3,700 square meters. The state is investing around 23 million euros in the renovation and expansion of the cafeteria in Ulm. The client is appointed by the Ulm office State business and building Baden-Württemberg .
