Campus Facilities

On the spacious campus there are 17 university buildings providing approx. 24,000 m² of floor-space (lecture rooms, laboratories, test operations areas, and offices).
One special feature is the extensive teaching and testing facility belonging to the School of Textiles and Design. This is the only one of its kind in the world: 4,800 m² of lab space contain machinery for spinning cotton, worsted and woollen yarns, as well as for weaving, weft- and warp-knitting, and textile processing.
This facility is located in Building 1, together with the large labs for the Schools of Technology and Applied Chemistry.

Library

Even in the age of the Internet and the world-wide web a library remains a university's focal point for works of reference and research. Reutlingen's campus library provides all traditional services, such as access to the vast resources of the Germany-wide inter-library loan system, as well as all online research facilities. The university library serves both Reutlingen University and Ludwigsburg University of Education. It currently holds around 240,000 books and around 500 periodicals.

Running tracks and sports facilities are also close to the university in attractive natural surroundings. Computing Centre
