Overview
- The main building, which authorities shut Saturday after inspections found water damage, damp walls and risks to power and fire safety, remains closed without a target date.
- About 35,000 students now face moved classes as the university finds new rooms for roughly 400 courses or switches them to digital formats.
- Students and staff can book one- or two-and-a-half-hour slots on Monday to Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. to retrieve personal and work items from the site.
- A taskforce of TU leaders, the district and Senate experts met to draft a plan for a partial or full reopening and to map medium-term repairs.
- The TU reports a €2.4 billion repair backlog as opposition groups push for an emergency fund and the building senator says the university deferred fixes, reflecting a wider Berlin maintenance crunch.
