Neubau an der Burg Halle nimmt Form an
The long-delayed new building for the Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle (University of Art and Design Halle) is moving forward, with a construction start now planned for autumn 2027. The Finance Committee of the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament has approved the updated cost estimate of around 42 million euros, clearing the way for the project. While the building was originally slated for completion in 2027, a more realistic finish date is now 2030, with preparatory moves and demolition work scheduled to begin in late 2026.
The project is a critical infrastructure investment for the renowned German art academy. It will provide modern studios, workshops, exhibition spaces, and seminar rooms, strengthening the school's position as a study location and offering improved facilities for both students and faculty. The new building represents a significant step in the institution's long-term development and its ability to support contemporary artistic education.
