TU Dortmund University: North and South Campus

First of all, get access to a map of the two campuses here.

You can also have a look at the google map I created:

In the map I marked down the H-Bahn (elevated railway between the two campuses) and the student accomodations.
I pointed out major buildings on North and South Campus as well as shops, bakeries, a dentist, some fast food joints, mail office, a very cheap hair dresser in Hombruch etc...

Photo Trip
Let's pretend we just arrived by suburban train and got out on North Campus (I marked it with a red pin). Here's what you will see:

Let's walk up these stairs...

We can see the Fachhochschule.
Now, if we turn 90° left, we have the EF 50 building across the lawn and the tiny lake.

Here we can see part of the Sonnendeck, a student cafe.
If we tilt further left, we can see the library.

We just walked down this path and now we are on the bridge which crosses the Vogelpothsweg. Below the bridge the busses leave. If we turn around on the bridge we can see the library, EF 50, the refectories and student service as well as the H-Bahn, Audimax and the Math Tower.

If we continue in the direction of the Sonnendeck and EF 50, this is what we can see:

Now we are in front of the EF 50.

Actually, we are the left entrance to part A of the building.

So let's go to the main entrance in the middle of the building an have a look inside visiting the Institute for American Studies.

By the way: this is part of the group working on presenting Dortmund.

As you can see, a lot of faculties are inside EF 50, including e.g. Music, Sport, Art, German, English, Theology, Psychology, Rehabilitation or Education.

The whole building has just been renovated and the finishing touches are in process.
Therefore everything is still shiny :D

This is one of the three lecture halls inside of EF 50:

The Institute for American Studies is to the right in part D.

This is the media room of the institute with a new electronic white board.

Ok, so let's pretend we beemed ourself in front of the Audimax (right across from the refectories - or on the other side of the road from the library)

Inside the Audimax

and back out again.

The stairs to the right lead back to the bridge, straight ahead leads to the Math Tower and the Martin-Schmeißer square.

The math tower by night.

If we continue across the square we have the lecture hall building II to the left.

Well, there is many more buildings, but there is one I like a lot personally. Since I am a student of computer science as well, here a few photos from the Otto-Hahn-Str. 14 building, which is a bit further away from the center.
It is the newest building on campus and therefore very nice :D

The lecture hall is amazing, e.g. every seat has its own power plug.

There is plenty of study rooms and they are well equiped.

Also, the computer science students have their own little kitchen and kiosk,
where you can e.g. buy a pizza for 1,30€ and heat it up in the mini oven.

South Campus

Now let's pretend we took the H-Bahn to the South Campus, which is the oldest part of the University - founded in 1986.

Because of elevators, students with disabilities can be found on campus.
The white line with little nobs on it helps blind people to find their way around Campus.
