With three new buildings want to ride the student works on new paths. In and with the houses is to be researched.

Garching – The student is planning to build three houses with housing for 197 students on the Campus of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Garching. The project, 500 meters from the U-Bahn station Garching-Forschungszentrum station, operating under the title "research houses". A double-well-met Name in it, not only to students, so be "Young researchers" to live, also serve the houses even of the research.

The three four-storey buildings are built of different materials: a solid wood, one of brick and one made of insulating concrete, all of which are robust buildings, which simply reduces and resources are operated. The student Union works in cooperation with the German Federal environmental Foundation (DBU), which the project supported technically and financially with 520 000 Euro, as well as with the "research group Easy TUM Build". Over several years, is about to examine how the different building materials on the energy costs, or also the user behavior affects the energy consumption.

what to do with the Parking?

"A very similar project already in Bad Aibling," explained architect Florian Nagler in the building Committee of the city Council. The aim of the research the realization of a zero-energy standards, reducing the cost of construction, development of sustainable construction and implementation of a robust in-house technology concepts. Per resident Bicycle Parking space is provided, due to the mobility concept, a reduction of 25 per cent to 32 above-ground car Parking is possible.

A good solution, as the mayor, Dietmar Gruchmann (SPD) finds. Because only a few students had a car, the metro is within walking distance as well as the MVG-bike station. "Super thing", stated Harald Grünwald (UG), "but please, the Parking is underground. I want a underground garage, which we have loosely in the Hand.“ You have to show a little bit of hardness, and against the University to enforce the will also constantly with extension wish to make representations. An underground garage provides Gruchmann, however, counterproductive to get affordable housing: "can't afford the student."

SPD-councillor: more of such projects

Jürgen Ascherl (CSU) is the much-needed housing for students at the top, he "can live with the package". Ulrike Haerendel (SPD) sees the construction of a lighthouse project, "we could use more". Bastian Dombret (FDP) pointed out, to rap in the future "on underground Parking", the built-up area is less valuable just because you spent on the Campus. You treat preferably, the Studentenwerk already, by agreeing to a reduction of the pitches.

The councils of the building Committee approved the plans, the administration should, however, act again, post that the Parking spaces in the Park houses the "Science City" should be included.
