Art academy - Ministry of Finance still in favor of new building at Burg Giebichenstein

The Saxony-Anhalt Ministry of Finance is sticking to its plans to build a new building for the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle. "We want to continue building a new building, a new tender will be issued," said Finance Minister Michael Richter (CDU) in the state parliament in Magdeburg on Tuesday. However, the previous design concept was too expensive.

The new building for the art academy was to be based on designs by a Munich office that had won an international architecture competition. The aim was to create a studio and workshop building with a new building of more than 3000 square meters.

However, according to the Minister of Finance, the cost estimate rose from 31 to more than 53 million euros. This was uneconomical and the process was therefore terminated, said Richter. Those responsible at the university had been informed of this and were still in talks with them. Around 1000 people from Germany and abroad study at the "Burg" in Halle.
