With a roof area of 22,000 m² and built with 5200 m³ of construction timber, the TUM Campus is one of Europe's biggest timber structures. Its trademark is the 150 metres wide roof with a cantilever of nearly 19 metres and consisting of 40 prefabricated hollow box girders.
The TUM Campus is the greatest construction project developed in Munich's Olympiapark since the 1972 Olympics. The overall concept of the building and the sports facilities spanning 20 hectar was developed by the landscape planners Balliana-Schubert and the architects Helmut Dietrich and Much Untertrifaller (MU). Konrad Merz, Gordian Kley (GK) and Bertram Käppeler (BK) of merz kley partner were responsible for the structural engineering.
