Campus Construction

The Development of the Material and Technical Base of Masaryk University programme was launched in 2002; the programme comprises the implementation of an extensive renovation, reconstruction and modernization of historical MU buildings as well as project preparations for the construction of a new campus in Brno Bohunice. Campus construction as such was launched in 2004 and subsequently completed in 2010.

The University Campus Bohunice (UCB) consists of the following parts:

• Morphology Centre

The renovation of the former MEDIPA compound facilitated the completion of the Morphology Centre III project. The renovation was launched in December 2002 and completed in December 2004 with Unistav as general contractor. Overall costs amounted to 170.2 mil. CZK and MU gained a total of 5,709 m² of new floor space thanks to this project alone.

• Integrated Laboratories for Biomedical Technologies (ILBIT)

Construction was launched in August 2004 with the ILBIT Association – comprising IMOS Brno and Metrostav – as general contractor. The ILBIT facility was approved one year later, operation commenced in September 2005 and official inauguration took place on 3 October 2005. The ILBIT premises comprise a total of 12,280 m² of new floor space, most of it specifically designed for biomedical and R&D laboratories. Total construction costs amounted to 729.3 mil. CZK.

• Academic Teaching and Research Complex

The Academic Teaching and Research Complex includes the blue, yellow, green and red stages:

Blue stage

Construction was launched in December 2005 with OHL ŽS Brno as general contractor. The entire stage was completed in August 2007 and the complex was officially opened on 17 September 2007. Facilities built during the blue construction stage provided MU with a total of 28,125 m² of new floor space, of which 17,000 m² were dedicated to research and teaching space for the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Medicine. The blue stage also included the construction of the Masaryk University Campus Library and an energy centre – the most important technical hub on campus – placed in four cylinders which double as supports for a footbridge spanning Kamenice Street. Such footbridges also connect the campus area to the morphology centre and the University Hospital Brno complex.

Total construction costs amounted to 1,552.6 mil. CZK.

Yellow stage

Construction was launched in the autumn of 2007 with the Veselý – ESOX consortium as general contractor. The entire stage was completed in July 2009 and the resulting Faculty of Sports Studies complex was officially opened on 7 October 2009.

Facilities built during the yellow construction stage provided MU with 10,610 m² of new floor space, of which sports halls alone cover a total of 2,005 m².

Total construction costs amounted to 518.3 mil. CZK.

Green stage

The green construction stage was subdivided into two phases – E and F. General contractors for phase E and F were the OHL ŽS – Metrostav consortium and the Unistav – IMOS – PSG International consortium, respectively. Construction was launched in July 2008 and completed in the spring of 2010; the facilities were subsequently officially opened at the beginning of the 2010/2011 academic year.

Facilities built during the green construction stage provided MU with 21,934 m² of floor space in buildings designed to house the Faculty of Medicine, the chemical and biological departments of the Faculty of Science and facilities such as a new educational centre, dean’s offices and assembly hall.

Total construction costs amounted to 1,789.2 mil. CZK.

Red stage (infrastructure)

The red stage included the construction of a sewage system, access roads, sidewalks, bike paths, parking areas and utility networks. Construction was launched at the end of 2005 with IMOS as general contractor. The entire stage was subsequently finalized by the end of 2007. A majority of the costs of the red stage costs (300 mil. CZK) was covered by grants from the City of Brno.

Total construction costs amounted to 336.4 mil. CZK.

Campus construction: completion

While campus construction itself (i.e. sub-programme 233 332) has been finalized, the campus premises continue to expand thanks to funding provided by the EU. The construction of buildings designed to house three cutting-edge scientific and research centres is currently in progress:

• CEITEC (Central European Institute of Technology)
• CESEB (Centre of Experimental, Systematic and Ecological Biology)
• CETOCOEN (Research Centre for Toxic Compounds in the Environment)
