Campus-Development

TUM will be implementing important construction projects over the next few years. In particular, the expansion of the campus for the Department of Aerospace and Geodesy will change the appearance of the TUM School of Engineering and Design and the communities of Taufkirchen and Ottobrunn.

Since its launch in 2018, the Department of Aerospace and Geodesy has grown rapidly and established itself as an important player in European aerospace and geodesy. The next major development step will take place in 2025: new buildings for teaching and research will be built on an area of 7.5 hectares. From the winter semester 2025/26, courses for Bachelor Aerospace students will take place in interim buildings in Taufkirchen/Ottobrunn. The new infrastructure will relieve the Garching and Munich sites and promote an integrated academic environment for aerospace and geodesy. 

Beyond boundaries

The year 2035 will mark the final major expansion phase for the Department of Aerospace and Geodesy. On the way to around 50 professorships, a permanent university campus with state-of-the-art research infrastructure, new industrial partnerships and expanded teaching opportunities will be created in Ottobrunn. At the same time, the ASG is focusing on an interdisciplinary and internationally networked approach - with new research initiatives on sustainable aviation, planetary exploration and AI-controlled geodesy. Investments in state-of-the-art laboratories, flight test centers and high-performance computers create an innovative environment that brings together students, researchers and top experts from all over the world. The TUM ASG Campus will become the center of an innovative and interdisciplinary ecosystem that makes it possible to think and act beyond borders.
