The project is a landmark building at a key intersection within the university complex, featuring diverse architectural solutions. Collegium has a restrained facade with rounded corners, creating a monolithic and smooth appearance. The car-free site includes pedestrian and bike paths, plus a unique underground bike parking for 70. The courtyard axis connects the existing Collegium with the new main hall, with “pockets” for rest and socializing. The building supports spiritual and physical growth, with open glass lower floors for study and community. Landscaping ensures harmony with nature.
