Research and Education: The Renewed Medical Campus of Pécs

With the growth in international education and the increase in the number of students, the examination and development of university campuses at the University of Pécs have become necessary.A new building will be added to the Campus of the Medical School where it is required to place student and educational spaces, as well as research laboratories of international standards. It is a complex architectural task to create new modern spaces, establish relations with one another and also with the existing theoretical building block in the area. The large green space in the campus is closed, unused, but can be taken advantage of with the thoughtful placement of the new building. Student comfort can be improved significantly if the green surface is connected to the life of the area. During the design process, a complex, modern annex has been formulated in accordance with the above educational and research aspects

The Development of the ’Western Campus’

With the Modern Városok Program (’Modern Cities Program’) Pécs has gained a development opportunity with the help of which not only the buildings and premises of the university faculties participating in international training can form more sustainable, unified university campuses, but with urban planning infrastructure development is being prepared both in short and long term. One of the main development areas of the ’Modern Cities Program’ is the establishment of the ’Western Campus’.In the first stage, the formation of a migration map and the grouping of the faculties and buildings inside and outside the premises were necessary for the unified Campus. During the preparatory phase, the infrastructure connecting university areas were developed and the pedestrian and bicycle road networks were redesigned/expanded. In the second phase, the faculties were complemented in accordance with their needs, some faculties were redesigned inside the building (Faculty of Pharmacy), others were enlarged (Faculty of Sciences), but new buildings were also designed (Medical School, Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology ÉG 81-56). The International Studies Centre and the Centre for Foreign Languages are placed in this homogeneous structure, which also indicates the essence of the Campus
