Excursion: What a Campus can be
It was a correct decision alround to transform the inner-city complex of the former veterinary college into a university venue for art — music, sound and film. The first-rate reputation of the mdw is matched by the architectural interventions, which began in the mid-1990s and culminated in 2020 with the construction of the new Future Art Lab.
