The importance of a common center is crucial, given the fact that STU is located not only in several buildings but also at few locations in Bratislava (City center – 4 faculties – Náměstí Slobody and Kollárovo square, Starohorská and Radlinského street, Mlynská Dolina – 2 faculties, STU rectorate Center for management in Vazovova Street ) as well as in a city of Trnava – 1 faculty at Bottova Street.
The diverse localization and the absence of the common campus of STU motivate the creation of the common representative center with the intention to strengthen the importance of the historically established University core, today formed by 4 faculties:
– Faculty of Civil Engineering
– Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
– Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology
– Faculty of Architecture in the city center.
The proposed development location in the city center, its location in relation to the main urban spaces (Náměstí Slobody, Kollárovo square, Starohorská street) with links to important buildings in the area such as the Government, the Ministry of Transportation and Construction of the Slovak Republic, the National Bank of Slovakia, the Slovak Radio and Television building, the New Stage theater or the Design Center, provide preconditions for a synergistic effect of the new STU University Center and the strengthening of importance and visibility of STU.
