Study. Connect. Create. – Coworking at Viadrina

The Viadrina Coworking Space offers various areas - from a spacious meeting area to flexible learning and working spaces and a creative start-up area. It is located between the Audimax and the student hall of residence in a building formerly used as a canteen.

The central elements of the coworking space include:

• combined with modern elements reminiscent of the history of the building, which was built as a district political party school
• a refurbished concrete skeleton from the 1970s and historical rod lighting systems by Peter Rockel, which hung in the Palace of the Republic among other places, characterise the space
• a reverse glass painting by Eberhard Hückstädt in the entrance area
