Summer brings sunshine, a vacation mood and the colorful Enzis to the Friedrich Streib Campus of Coburg University of Applied Sciences: since this year, students have been enjoying this colorful lounging, sitting and chilling furniture.
They are located in front of the IT and Media Center (ITMZ) and were sponsored by the university association. “We like to come here to take a short break between lectures and soak up some sun,” says Corinna Haenlein from the student council about the Enzis.
This special outdoor furniture is characterized by its unique geometry.
It allows countless combinations and extensions as well as a variety of color designs.
The Enzis are made of 100 percent recyclable polyethylene and offer a wide range of uses: You can sit on them, lie on them, have a picnic or simply enjoy the surroundings.
This new acquisition was made possible thanks to cooperation with the Department of Technology and Construction and funding from the University Association. Prof. Dr. Jutta Michel from the Executive Board of the University Association emphasizes: “Our goals with these purchases were to improve the quality of life on campus, promote social interaction outdoors and provide comfortable places to study and rest in the outdoor area. This gives students a new quality of life.” The Coburg University Association The Coburg University Association (formerly the Coburg University of Applied Sciences Sponsors’ Association) has supported Coburg University of Applied Sciences both ideally and materially since its foundation in 1966.
Examples of this are the support of students in financial need, support for excursions and the purchase of equipment at the request of the student representatives.
In general, the Förderverein tries to help where the university itself cannot due to its legal status.
Its members include companies and personalities from the regional economy and public life as well as students, graduates, professors and employees of Coburg University of Applied Sciences.
The university association relies on the support of its members – for example through membership, donations, voluntary work or giving lectures.
The Enzis are an excellent example of the successful cooperation between the university and the Hochschulverein.
Thanks to this support, students can enjoy their time on campus in a cozy atmosphere and enjoy a better quality of life.
