House for Innovation and Transfer (HIT)
The new House for Innovation and Transfer (HIT) on the OTH Regensburg campus on Universitätsstraße was built as a modular structure with the help of High Tech Agenda Bayern. Twelve new offices, meeting rooms and two research laboratories provide space for 50 OTH Regensburg employees to conduct research on two floors; the ZWW, which also contributed to the funding, has a new home on the second floor.
To provide as many researchers as possible with space for their work, the research areas are organized according to the shared desk model. For this purpose, employees of OTH Regensburg developed their own house rules in advance through workshops and surveys.
In addition to the shared desk model, the building’s planning also focused on creating improved working conditions through specialized workplace equipment: the company "Linke Office Design" developed a tailored spatial concept, enabling diverse working approaches reflected in the furniture design:
- collaborative working
- focused work
- Working in a group
- Meetings with presentation options

In addition to the working conditions in the building, the House for Innovation and Transfer also sets standards in terms of sustainability and stands out in particular for the following points:
- built entirely of wood
- Building materials used are exclusively harmless
- Minimal surface sealing
- geothermal heating with geothermal probes
- extensively greened flat roof with photovoltaic system
- Ventilation system with heat recovery
Houserules & room occupancy
In the workshop on 18.10.2024, the users set up house rules for working in the HIT. There are also instructions for booking workstations under "Room allocation".
