FU-Rostlaube, University building complex in Dahlem, Germany.
The Rostlaube forms a two-story structure with internal pedestrian walkways connecting different departments of Free University Berlin.
Architects Candilis, Josic, Woods, and Schiedhelm designed this experimental campus building in 1963 after winning a competition for the philological institute.
The facility contains multiple lecture halls, meeting spaces, and the central philological library, serving as a center for academic exchange.
Students can access the building through multiple entrances on Habelschwerdter Allee, Otto-von-Simson-Strasse, and Fabeckstrasse between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
The building received its nickname Rostlaube from its Cor-ten steel facade, which developed a natural rust patina over time.
