Resting room for parents and children in the Main Building

The new room for parents and their children in the Main Building of the University of Vienna offers a place of retreat for student parents with infants or toddlers.

This allows parents to care for their children in a relaxed atmosphere at the University or rest together with them. The resting room for parents and children is located in the Tiefparterre basement, Hof (court) 3 next to Stiege (staircase) 5.

When designing the room, the four pillars were refurbished as a four-seasons forest – this way, spring, summer, autumn and winter have arrived. When furnishing the room, special attention was paid to safety: not only the bench is at a height suitable for children, but also the covering of the radiator eliminates the risk of injury. Solid wood was the material of choice. A very comfortable and high-quality bench for sitting and relaxing and sets of toys suitable for toddlers complete the functionality of the room for parents and their children.
