Vienna University of Economics and Business, Public university in Vienna, Austria
The Vienna University of Economics and Business is a higher education institution in the second district of the Austrian capital, occupying a wide area. The site holds several buildings with lecture halls, libraries, and workspaces for thousands of students.
The institution began in 1898 as an academy focused on training professionals for trade and commerce in the empire. Over the decades, the programs expanded and the school took its current name.
Students gather across the grounds in the second district, using lecture halls and spaces for group work throughout the day. The name reflects the economic focus that continues to shape what people study here.
The grounds are open during the day and the libraries welcome outside visitors as well. The buildings spread across the site, so having a map helps when walking around.
Some of the structures were designed by well-known architecture firms, including a striking building with curved lines. This range of designs turns a walk through the grounds into an architectural tour.
