The University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (''Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften'', formerly ''Fachhochschule'', still abbreviated: FH|W-S) is a technical university in Germany, which was founded in 1971 and is located in Bavaria with campuses in Würzburg and Schweinfurt. ==History== The history of today's University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt dates back to 1807 and is linked with three previous institutions: the Balthasar-Neuman Polytechnic of the district of Lower Franconia, the Würzburg Commercial College and the Würzburg School of Applied Arts. Following the passing of the Bavarian Technical University Law of 1970 (Bayerisches Fachhochschulgesetz or FHG), the current university opened its doors on 1. August 1971 with 1566 students and courses in seven subjects. The Würzburg campus offered courses in architecture, civil engineering, business administration and graphic design, while in Schweinfurt students could choose between electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and industrial engineering. In the following years new courses were added including social work (1972), plastics engineering (1973), computer science (1975), nursing management (1995), business economics (1998), Business informatics (2000), media management (2000), computational engineering (2003) and logistics (2008). Between 1991 and 2000 the university developed a new campus in Aschaffenburg, initially offering business economics and from 1997 electrical engineering. In 2000, this evolved into the independent University of Applied Sciences Aschaffenburg. On 14. February 2003, the then minister of science, Hans Zehetmair, laid a foundation for a circular teaching building in Schweinfurt extending to 3000m² and costing almost 14.5 million euros. In the basement of the building there are modern student computer pool rooms. On the first floor a spacious assembly hall (Aula) offers a venue for events and conferences. arranged in a circle around the central space are deans' offices, administrative offices and the largest auditorium of the building. On the second and third floor of the building, constructed of reinforced concrete and aluminium, there are air-conditioned multimedia rooms. The building was opened by the minister of science, Thomas Goppel, on 4. October 2004. Since then, most of the courses in Schweinfurt have been held in these new premises. The older buildings in Schweinfurt have mostly been vacated and since 2004 been extensively refurbished. In 2006, the naming rights for the biggest lecture hall of the university (located on the Würzburg campus) were acquired by Aldi-Süd. In the same year, Sparkasse Würzburg offered to sponsor another lecture hall. Within a short time the following companies were also sponsoring buildings which were named after them: *SALT Solutions (Würzburg) *Fränkische Rohrwerke Königsberg (Würzburg) *Fresenius Medical Care (Schweinfurt) *LEONI (Schweinfurt) *Warema-Renkhoff (Schweinfurt) In 2008, the name of the university was changed from ''Fachhochschule Würzburg-Schweinfurt'' to ''Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften – Fachhochschule Würzburg-Schweinfurt''. Since 1 May 2011 the official name of the university has been ''Hochschule für Angewante Wissenschaften Würzburg-Schweinfurt''. However the logo with the abbreviation FH|W-S is still used. In 2011 new buildings were acquired in both towns. In Würzburg, the new auditorium and laboratory building in Sanderheinrichsleitenweg was given to the university at the beginning of September 2011. In Schweinfurt, a new building located at Grüner Markt, opposite Kilianskirche was erected by the housing company Stadt- und Wohnbau GmbH (SWG). It cost about 9.6 million euro and the State of Bavaria has rented it from SWG for a minimum of 12 years. As second Schweinfurt campus, it accommodates 720 students in 7 auditoriums. It was officially opened on 10 August 2011.〔(''Stärkung des Wissenschaftsstandortes Schweinfurt'' ).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
