“Parts of the facility are still being operated by the computing center, as essential technical infrastructure remains in place,” a UHH spokesperson told DCD. “The UHH is currently coordinating with the relevant authorities regarding further project financing and scheduling. The University is aware of the building’s particular cultural and historical significance and continues to pursue the goal of preserving and using it in the long term.
