Krupp College

Two Buildings, One Home

Funded by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Stiftung, Krupp is the first and pioneering college of Constructor University and opened in 2001. Krupp is the only college with multiple buildings. In 20xx, Krupp College was expanded to include a wing of an additional building. Starting in Fall 2022, the second building was completely converted into a residential college. Our home is shared with the International Foundation Year offices and classrooms.

Krupp’s second building is the closest building to the IRC.

Each student has access to a floor kitchen, which is shared by the students living on their floor and provides an additional community space. The college has its own servery. There are laundry facilities in the basements of the college and you have access to well-equipped common spaces for studying, socializing, relaxing and watching TV and movies.
