Laboratories at the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering

Our diverse laboratories support practice-oriented teaching and enable the implementation of research projects at a high level. Through teaching and research projects and the academic appointments of graduates, the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering contributes to the development of architecture, civil engineering, the real estate industry and the transport sector and has an impact on practical experience, the Rhine-Main region and beyond.

  • A group of eight people stands in a room with modern art installations designed to influence the room's acoustics. The installations hang from the ceiling. All elements are shiny silver and come in various organic shapes and curves. One person, facing the viewer, speaks to the others.
    Laboratory for Building and Room Acoustics

    In the laboratory for Building and Room Acoustics, components and materials are examined and optimized in terms of sound technology.
