The Idea Team

We are Olga, Julian, Sophie and Patrick and we study geology at the Lankwitz campus. We spend a lot of our free time there in addition to our studies. That's why a beautiful, green and sustainable campus is important to us!

About the Idea

Our campus has a relatively large amount of green space, which is why many animals take part in campus life. However, the building walls are very barren and not exactly beautiful and we have decided to tackle this problem.

Green façades have many advantages: they provide food and nesting sites for animals, bind CO2, act as a natural air purification and air conditioning system and are also very attractive to look at!

We would like to equip our buildings with wire ropes and fastenings and allow as many different plants as possible to grow up them. In addition, free-standing wooden trellises are also an option for greening our campus without attaching them to the walls.

This project is initially a pilot project and will be carried out on a small scale. If it is successful, we will try to expand the greening. We will be happy to share our experiences with other universities or institutes so that they can also take a step towards "green".

At the moment, we are looking for suitable locations in order to select plants that are optimal for the environmental conditions.

Outlook

We are looking forward to an even more beautiful campus and hopefully a warm, but not too warm summer. :)
