In order to meet the growing demand for affordable student accommodation, 49 modern individual flats subsidised by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia are being built directly on the Paderborn University campus. Paderborn students will move into these on 1 August.

The flats are fully furnished and have a fast fibre optic internet connection. The building also meets the highest ecological standards. As a zero-energy building, it is equipped with a green roof, a photovoltaic system and state-of-the-art electricity storage technology. The project thus makes an important contribution to climate protection and sustainable development at the university location.

The investors who constructed the building and the Paderborn Student Union have entered into a long-term partnership with the letting of the residential complex. Studierendenwerk Paderborn is exclusively responsible for the marketing and management of the flats and ensures that places are allocated fairly and transparently. "Affordable housing is one of the key prerequisites for equal opportunities in higher education. With this project, we are responding to students' demands and not only creating urgently needed accommodation, but also setting new standards in terms of sustainability and facilities thanks to our cooperation with the owners. We are delighted to be able to offer students optimal conditions for their academic success," emphasises Ulrich Schmidt, Managing Director of Studierendenwerk Paderborn.
