Facilities/Buildings on Campus

Student Service Center: The SSC (Reimar Lüst Hall) is there to help students with all kinds of things. If you receive a parcel you can pick it up there, you can buy stamps or post your letters. They help you with questions regarding the host family or make phone calls in German for you and have information about local events.

The Pulse: (SAC, Student Activity Centre between East Hall and West Hall) Here you can buy readers for your courses, make copies, get your semester ticket and student ID laminated and buy all sorts of food, drinks and other things one might suddenly need (toothpaste…). Pulse is open daily from 7pm to 1 am, weekends included! ;)

Campus Center/ IRC: In the Campus Centre you will find the library aka the IRC (Information Resource Centre). You can check out books and place Interlibrary Loans (ILL). here There are quiet study areas and group discussion areas too. If you need to print large posters you can use the plotters in the IRC. Our mailboxes and the Language labs are in the basement.

Language Lab: If you want to understand and speak over 20 languages and you don’t want to pay for courses then language lab is a place for you! Located in the basement of Campus Centre/ IRC, it consists of several computers with about 150 language programs for self-learning. It’s open anytime the IRC is open and it’s absolutely free!

Porters: The porters are at the main gate of the university. If you have problems with your keys/ transponder you go to them and they will help you. You can also find the timetables of all important buses there. That’s also the only place on campus where you can put money on your cash card.

Cinema: The name says everything for itself! Located in the building behind the SAC our campus cinema is not only a perfect place to watch both new and classic movies that are being screened there by the members of Movie Magic Club several days a week, but it’s also a place where a lot of big university events take place.

Music Room: If you decide to become a member of a Music club you will gain access to the music room which can be found right next to the cinema. There you will be able to practice your skills in any of the available music instruments (guitars, piano, drums, etc.) without anyone disturbing you and anyone being disturbed by you.

Sports halls I&II: Located next to the soccer field two big sports halls are there for all the sport fans in the JUB. Basketball, volleyball, badminton – anything you can think of. It is being renovated currently, and the management has very optimistic plans for it.

Recreation Center: Located outside campus (5 minutes walk); contains a wide range of gym gear and for 15 € per semester is the perfect place to burn some calories. More information you can find here.

Swimming Pool: Is located just across the Jacobs Kindergarten and "The OtherSide" and for a semester fee of 20 € per semester is available for students three days per week at certain hours. For more information see here.

Interfaith house: Spiritual place for people of all religions and confessions. Right across the Campus Center and in between Researches I and II.

  1. Great! :) There are so many facilities in Jacobs, so I am very excited. :)
    Umm, about the swimming pool, so, we can only use it on the certain days at the certain hours, right? According to the schedule, we can only be there three days a week for one hour, is that the maximum permitted time?
