University of Applied Sciences for Business and the Environment Nürtingen
As the first component of the universities’ inner-city campus, the new building for the Nürtingen-Geislingen University of Applied Sciences has been completed on the Hauber site in Nürtingen.
The building volume takes its cue from the site’s history of small-scale plots and translates it into an irregularly angled structure with stepped heights. To the north, it follows the existing street alignment and forms part of the planned perimeter block development.
All “public” functions, including lecture halls and seminar rooms for teaching, are arranged on the ground and first floors around an open foyer. The foyer connects the street with the landscaped area to the south. The offices for teaching staff and professors are located on the second and third floors.

BIM Planning
Scope of Work
- Building design, Work Stages 1–5
- Little BIM: architectural building model created in Autodesk Revit
Collaboration
- Exchange of 2D data
- No model-based collaboration
Deliverables and Evaluation
- Model-based preparation of preliminary design, design development, planning approval, and construction documentation
- Generation of 2D drawings—floor plans, elevations, and sections at scales from 1:200 to 1:50—from the 3D model
- Generation of key fit-out and construction details, such as sanitary facilities, from the 3D model
- Visualizations and real-time visualizations, including walkthroughs, to support decision-making and coordination during the planning process
