Campus of the University of Vienna
The 96,000 m² site of the former General Hospital became the property of the University of Vienna in 1988 through a donation by the City of Vienna and was opened up by numerous new access points and passageways. Today, the University of Vienna campus is not only a place of study and work, but also a popular green oasis for those seeking relaxation and a venue for congresses, exhibitions, festivals, sporting events, and much more.

Public tours
A guided tour of the courtyards provides insight into the diverse history of the buildings. Visitors learn about their use as a poorhouse, military hospital, and maternity hospital, as well as the development of the university clinics and their current use as a modern science center for research and teaching.
u:japan lectures
The u:japan lectures take place every Thursday from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. They are free of charge and can be attended on site (Hof 2, Door 2.4) without registration, or followed live via Zoom.
Gates of Remembrance ("Tore der Erinnerung")
When the University of Vienna campus opened in 1998, the 23 new entrances and passageways were named after important figures and equipped with plaques detailing their biographies. Those honored by the Gates of Remembrance have gained greater visibility since fall 2024, as the content of the commemorative plaques has been revised and their design updated.
