Ecological-Botanical Garden
You can go on a botanical journey through the 16 hectares of land and discover plants from Asia, America and Europe in the outdoor area. At the back of the garden, there is a barefoot path and a kitchen garden with vegetables, spices, medicinal plants and a traditional orchard. Even in bad weather, the greenhouses at the entrance are worth a visit, where you can admire plants from the tropics and the misty forests of the Canary Islands. There are also regular art exhibitions.
Department of Computer Science
The building for Computer Science/Applied Computer Science was completed in 2008 and houses the Department of Computer Science in Faculty I. In addition to two lecture halls, it also houses several computer laboratories and a robotics laboratory.
At this point on the campus tour, you can return to the starting point of the tour or take a walk through the Botanical Garden.
