Ten reasons to head out into nature
Studying and working at ETH Zurich can be quite demanding. Luckily the university environment offers a number of opportunities to get back to nature. life presents a selection of five relaxing outdoor spaces on the Zentrum and H?nggerberg campuses.

Relaxation on every level: the terrace-like tiered Rechberg baroque garden feels like a little palace park. It’s particularly worth pausing on one of the spacious benches at sunset to catch the final rays at the end of the day. You can enjoy the views, the atmosphere and the sunshine here every day from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The perfect place for green fingers: the CHN building’s roof terrace offers a tempting breath of fresh air. A line of trees provides shade, while plant boxes distributed around the space emphasise the overall green garden feeling. The terrace is accessible for a refreshing break Monday to Friday from 6.30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

A sheltered spot to sit back and relax: the inner courtyard of the HPF building is perfect for anyone who needs to switch off for a while. This simple spot in a central location is a great place to take a spontaneous break and recharge your inner solar batteries. It is accessible from Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
In future, green spaces will become even more important. Within the framework of the master plan ?ETH Zurich 必博官网,必博体育 H?nggerberg 2040? the current – partly protected – gardens (the Albert-Steiner Garden and the Flora Ruchat-Roncati Garden) will be preserved and a new garden will be added.
