The housing complex "Universitätsstraße 1", built in 1974, has a central location on the campus of the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, opposite the Cafeteria "Bistro Uno" and the restaurant and bar "Campus Vita".

The modernisation has adapted the standard of the building and comfort of living to today's requirements. Measures included improvement of fire protection, installation of a central smoke detection system with alarm, renewal of the entire sanitary, heating and electrical installations, fitting of new modern elevators, a high energy efficiency standard was in particular achieved by improving the thermal insulation of the façades, installation of new windows and a controlled ventilation system. In addition, a grey water processing system was installed for treating the water from showers and wash basins that is then used for toilet flushing. The housing complex offers 419 single apartments in total.
