Die VOLKSWAGEN Universitätsbibliothek - ein gelungenes Beispiel einer Public-Private-Partnership
(2005)
The new building of the VOLKSWAGEN Universitätsbibliothek houses the two independent University Libraries of the Technical University Berlin and the University of the Arts Berlin. After more than 20 years of planning this state of the art library could only be successfully realised through a public private partnership. Here two libraries under one roof provide access to their diverse collections from engineering to fine arts, they offer short distances for the users and up-to-date technology. In spite of the financial and organisational independence of the two libraries our ambition is a joint performance for our customers. This article gives an overview on the history of the construction project, its financing, its architectural principles and the use of the building by the two libraries.
