Previously a boring seminar room – now a contemporary, innovative new teaching and learning space. This is the "CoLAB" – a space for collaborative, flexible, and competency-oriented teaching and learning.

Multifunctionality and flexibility are the focus of the new learning environment at HGU. Whether for working group meetings, workshops or seminars, whether working in small groups, in plenary sessions or individually – the CoLAB can be configured as desired in just a few steps.
For this purpose, tables and chairs are equipped with casters, are stackable, and very lightweight. Height-adjustable, magnetic, and writable tables that can also be used as whiteboards, writable and magnetic walls, as well as connections for laptops and tablets including Wi-Fi, ensure a modern teaching and learning environment.
And if you've forgotten your device or the battery is dead – CoLAB also provides free loaner devices. The demand for such a flexible concept is so high that another former seminar room will be converted into a CoLAB 2 in 2026.
