On May 2, 2017, the Bavarian Cabinet decided to massively strengthen the university locations of Erlangen and Nuremberg. The Faculty of Engineering at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) has developed positively and the number of students has increased significantly. There is therefore a need for more than 54,000 m² of additional space for the Faculty of Engineering.
Based on this decision, a master plan was drawn up with the aim of structurally reorganizing FAU's southern campus. The additional space required by the university is to be ensured by increasing the density of existing buildings, by purchasing additional space on the Siemens campus, but also by construction measures on state-owned land - as in the present development plan no. 467.
The master plan thus forms the basis for the future development of the Südcampus.
The development plan no. 467 - Extension of the University South Campus East - will strengthen and further develop the university location of Erlangen. The creation of additional building rights is intended to facilitate the orderly urban development of the Faculty of Engineering at the Erlangen South site.
This expansion area to the east of Nikolaus-Fiebiger-Straße is to accommodate university and university-related uses as well as a high-performance computing center.
At the same time, the development plan is intended to ensure the greening of the plan area, the protection of the remaining wooded areas and networking with the landscape.
The plan area is shown as a forest area in the land use plan and is part of the "Brucker Lache" landscape conservation area. In order to create building rights, the land use plan must be amended. This is carried out in a parallel procedure in accordance with Section 8 (3) BauGB. It is also necessary to amend the Brucker Lache landscape conservation area, which will be carried out in a separate procedure.
