15 May 2017. The University of St.Gallen is moving closer to the town centre. This will become visible and palpable with the new teaching and research facilities in Müller-Friedberg-Strasse 6-8, for example. On Saturday, 20 May 2017, the HSG will officially inaugurate the new location after the traditional Dies academicus, the University's greatest day of the year. With a many-faceted and varied programme involving brief lectures, exhibitions and project demonstrations, the University will provide insights into issues on which research is conducted on these premises. In addition, the building will be open to anyone who would like to have a look round. There will also be time for personal encounters over nibbles and drinks, as well as musical entertainment, on the roof terrace.
