New sports facilities at campus Garching:
Climbing the “Atomic Egg”
As of now, all students and staff of TUM can use the new sports facilities at campus Garching. The facilities – including the showers and changing rooms – are to be found on the lawn to the west behind the interim-auditoriums (Boltzmannstr. 5, 85748 Garching).
The sports facility’s new features are:
- two beach volleyball courts
- one basketball court
- table tennis
- the “Boulder Egg” in the form of the research reactor
- showers and changing container with lockers
There are park benches that invite you to relax, to read or to just watch – and there are also bikes available.
Matches even in the exam periods
The new basketball court has an EPDM coating to ensure especially good sound absorption. With the special coating, it will be possible to schedule matches even in the exam periods. The egg-shaped climbing tower is three meters high and has a diameter of three meters.
At the same time, a football ground was built on the lawn between the “Wiesenäckerbach” and the provisional car park.
About using the showers with the Student Card
Students and staff can use the showers and changing container with their student card or their staff ID. In addition to the showers and toilets, there are also lockers for valuables.
The construction costs for the facility amounted to a total of 600,000 Euros.

Of course, the campus of the University Sports Center (ZHS) at the Olympiapark (Connollystr. 32, 80809 München) and the facilities of the ZHS in Freising, Landshut, Starnberg and Obermenzing are also open to students of all universities.
