The campus of the Budapest Business University is located in a residential and educational area of Budapest, characterized by housing blocks and a suburban layout. The majority of the residential and educational buildings in this area were built post-war, and are distributed within an intensive green space reminiscent of an urban park, which lends this mixed use environment a distinct atmosphere. Starting in the early 1970s, the university campus was built in several phases with explicitly late modernist characteristics. A dormitory and new educational and connecting wings were added in the 1980s. In 2018, the university launched a design competition to reorganize the chaotic interior circulation system of the campus and create a new library and multifunctional student center. The new open and closed community areas, sports and recreational spaces, library as well as study zones offer suitable spaces to accommodate functions that meet 21st century requirements. Thus the newly defined campus garden, dormitory and restaurant garden, the cafeteria and recreational areas, and the conference space connected to the entrance hall serve as multifunctional areas and community spaces for students and lecturers alike. The remodeling of the campus garden oriented wing of the dormitory provides the possibility to develop a more transparent, direct and accessible circulation system within the university, and create a more organic and permeable connection between the educational wing, the dormitory and the new wing. In addition to strengthening interconnectedness within the university, the interior courtyards are now liberated from the additions that disrupted their spatial proportions and environmental quality. The result is a revitalized and continuous green surface that highlights the newly defined campus garden of Bagolyvár utca. The internal organization of the new wing is defined by an internal restroom block encircled by wide spaces with multifunctional stairs, which in addition to connecting the reading areas of the library, define alternative learning and community spaces with seating surfaces and periodical shelving units. These spaces are divided by bookshelves that are perpendicular to the façades of the building and reading desks positioned between them, thus separating the spaces suitable for in-depth work from circulation and community areas.
