AustriaThe University of Vienna is preparing to construct a new research building called the 'Quantum Cube' on its campus, which will replace half of the green space in Hof 2. The construction, set to start in October and last until early 2027, will involve removing five trees, four flowering horse chestnuts and one paulownia, and replacing them with new plantings. The university has already paved part of Hof 1 as an alternative green area. Construction noise will peak during the fall semester, prompting the university to offer accommodations for students and staff affected by the noise, including remote work options. While some trees will remain, the removal has sparked discussion about the loss of urban green spaces.
