The new location is dubbed "Campus WU" and had its groundbreaking ceremony in October 2009.
Close to the public park Prater and next to the exhibition centre of Vienna the campus will feature 6 main building complexes resting on approximately 25 acres. The master plan was created by BUSarchitektur under the guidance of the architect Laura P. Spinadel. The buildings of the campus are designed by architectural firms from Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Austria. The dominant element of the campus should be the Library & Learning Center which was planned by Zaha Hadid.
