The opening of "Neue Mensa" is expected to take place in September or October of this year. The reasons for the delay is the construction process.
The structural completion is planned for the second quarter of 2025. However, before the final opening can follow, technical testing procedures must be completed.
The approved construction costs for "Neue Mensa" are currently around EUR 44.3 million. Further costs are currently being compiled and seen into. Originally, costs of around EUR 23.6 million were planned for this project. The cost increases reflect the increase in construction prices over the last nine years - in addition to this, there are additional costs for monument protection and costs resulting from delays due to times of crisis such as the pandemic and the Ukraine conflict.
The opening hours of "Neue Mensa" are planned as follows: from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the cafeteria from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the Café-Lounge from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
