The mdw Campus is now home to 14 new modern and soundproofed practice rooms planned by architect Reinhardt Gallister. This project’s ten-month construction phase also included renovation work on the historic lecture hall around which these new rooms are grouped, which is now likewise available for teaching and research-related use. On 12 May 2026, the newly built structure—called the “Practice Arc”—was formally opened by the Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft (Austria’s federal real estate holding company), Federal Minister of Science Eva-Maria Holzleitner, and the mdw.
