Masterplan Campus Inffeldgasse

Preliminary Study for the Campus Development of TU Graz

The Inffeldgasse Campus is the largest location of TU Graz, situated approximately two kilometers from the historic city center. Over the past decades, the campus has been expanded multiple times in an ad-hoc manner. A comprehensive transformation is now planned, aiming to better integrate the campus into the urban fabric and ensure its sustainable future development.

Artgineering was commissioned to carry out a preliminary study accompanying the upcoming masterplan. A central part of the project was an intensive participatory process involving faculty, students, staff, and other campus users. Through focus groups and a broad online survey, concerns, needs, and potentials were identified and thematically structured – across areas such as building structure, open space and landscape, mobility, and technical infrastructure.

The results were compiled into a charter that now forms the conceptual basis for the forthcoming urban design competition. The study outlines both the current state of the campus and the vision of an open, sustainable, and well-integrated university district for the future.
