Campus development
Development of the Wiesbaden central campus
RheinMain University of Applied Sciences is pursuing ambitious goals, not only due to the significant increase in student numbers, but also due to the plan to expand the campus on Kurt-Schumacher-Ring Campus into Wiesbaden's central campus and to relocate faculties currently housed outside the city.
Based on an initial "Science City" master plan from 2013, a framework plan was developed together with the City of Wiesbaden, which will subsequently shape the development of the higher education institution at this location. In anticipation of this development, the first projects have already been implemented or planned.
Commissioning of the G-building
Building G on the Kurt-Schumacher-Ring Campus was completed in the 2015/2016 winter semester. The architecturally striking lecture hall pavilion made of wood and exposed concrete gives the higher education institution a face to the city and comprises two modern lecture halls that can accommodate up to 195 people in total. The dynamically designed stairs and ramps provide barrier-free access to the campus grounds.
New construction of a teaching and learning center
As part of the Higher Education Pact HSP 2020 Invest Phase III, Hochschule RheinMain received a budget for a new building project, which it is carrying out with project-related building autonomy. In spring 2017, the state of Hesse acquired parts of a former school property adjacent to the university campus from the city in order to facilitate the higher education institution's development plans.
A teaching and learning center with a lecture hall, seminar rooms, library, student workrooms and cafeteria is being built on this site as a "student house", which is expected to open in 2025. Construction of the LehrLernZentrum, which interweaves the various types of student learning, represents the first major expansion of the university campus on Kurt-Schumacher-Ring since the construction of the university buildings in the 1980s, apart from Building G.
Expansion of the campus
Funding from the HEUREKA II and HEUREKA III university construction program has been used to further promote the expansion of the Kurt-Schumacher-Ring Campus since 2021. The existing parking pallet will be replaced by a compact parking garage. In a next step, the resulting free campus space will be used to construct new buildings for the Wiesbaden Business School faculty and thus integrate them into the future central campus. One building will primarily provide space for offices and PC pools, while another will serve as a lecture hall and seminar building with a large Mensa (dining hall). In addition, the funds will be used to renovate the existing Buildings A and D to make them more energy-efficient and bring them up to the latest technical standards, particularly with regard to the IT infrastructure. In 2026, a new student hall of residence with an attached daycare center will be completed on campus by the Association for Student Affairs Frankfurt.

Campus development Rüsselsheim am Main
Refurbishment of main buildings A and B
Extensive renovations were carried out at the Rüsselsheim Campus, where the Faculty of Engineering is located, between 2011 and 2016. 43.7 million euros were invested in the refurbishment of Main Buildings A and B. Both buildings were renovated to improve their energy efficiency, all interiors were completely refurbished and key technical systems (lighting, ventilation systems, fire protection technology) were replaced. All of the modernized rooms have been available to students again since the 2016/2017 winter semester. The library in Building A was given a new roof in 2024.
New G building
The new G building was inaugurated in January 2017. The first floor of the modern construction houses two large lecture halls, each with 140 seats and ascending rows of seats, as well as a seminar room and two rooms for student project work. On the two upper floors, there are further contemporary seminar rooms, offices and rooms for student project work. The costs for this new building amounted to 7.06 million euros and were provided by the Higher Education Pact 2020 investment program of the state of Hesse.
Additional parking spaces
The expansion of the parking lot was completed at the end of 2019, providing 66 additional parking spaces.
Redesign of the outdoor area
Parts of the outdoor facilities were refurbished in 2019. The central courtyard was then extensively redesigned and renovated in 2024. The campus beer garden "relaxING" opened there in May 2025.
Library with a new roof
After around a year of construction and redesign, the Rüsselsheim site of the RheinMain University and State Library (HLB) reopened in May 2025. Among other things, the premises in Building A have been given a new roof structure.
