Velocampus

Project Description

The positive response from a joint project between the state capital of Kiel and the Kiel University of Applied Sciences is to enable sustainable cycling infrastructure improvements on campus.

The northern and southern axis between the Grenzstraße and the library learning centre currently under construction shall be modified into a route which is beneficial for cycle traffic. Three lanes are to be created – a broad “shared space”, which can be used simultaneously by pedestrians and cyclists, a walkaway solely for pedestrians with a tactile guidance system and an intermediate green central strip equipped with bicycle stands, benches and streetlamps.

Asphalt areas, curbs and paving slabs will be removed and replaced by level, paved paths.

The redesigned axis will be created in the extension of the Luisenstraße, between Eichenbergskamp and library leaning centre and between Grenzstraße and Moorblöcken; at a later time in the central area bewteen Moorblöcken and Eichenbergskamp.

It will be the main development axis at the campus also optically.
