Grand Opening of  “O.A.S.E.” Medical Library

With the new Medical Library Düsseldorf´s Heinrich-Heine-University receives a pulsating space for studying, reading, learning, inspiration and social encounter.

Exactly two years after the ground-breaking ceremony, today the medical department of Heinrich-Heine-University and the University Clinic celebrate grand opening. The design for the 38 meter high structure stacks the various functions on top of one another and is the architectural expression of a capillary system. This idea is very effectively displayed through the smooth, white skin of the façade that forms a network of organic glass shapes over the slender cube – a lively building with high identification and recognition value.
