Reallabor Campus at the Long Night of Science on June 28, 2025
The Charlottenburg Campus is a real-world laboratory for climate protection and adaptation. The “ClimateHOOD_CampusPARK” project is implementing structural measures: For example, rainwater from roofs is collected and reused. Following the “sponge city” principle, retention areas are being created on roofs, facades, and open spaces. Cisterns, reed beds, mini-marshes, and vertical farms help retain water. We’re presenting the project, a vertical farm model, and the processing of harvested food in collaboration with the B!NErLe department.
