The medical campus of the University of Augsburg is being built in the immediate vicinity of the University Hospital in the western part of the city. The reason for the decision not to build the medical campus on the main university campus is the university’s wish to provide optimal study conditions to the students at the Faculty of Medicine. Since the model medical course places great value from the outset on the interlocking of theory and practice as well as on the integration into everyday clinical practice, the Faculty of Medicine must be located near the University Hospital. In the coming decades, the research and teaching buildings of the Medical Faculty of the University will form the medical campus with approximately 37 thousand square metres of floor space. At the same time, a research building is also to be constructed on the university's main campus, which will link the research foci of university medicine with the research of the other seven faculties.

The first two Faculty of Medicine buildings will be a teaching building and the Institute for Theoretical Medicine – they will be the prelude to the Medical Campus and will be ready for occupancy in 2023 and 2024 respectively. Both new buildings will be erected on the site south of the university hospital complex. The space allocation plan for the teaching building amounts to approximately 6,400 square metres of floor space and includes lecture halls, seminar and practical training rooms, the Medical Section of the Augsburg University Library, an interprofessional training centre and the Dean's Office as well as the Department of Medical Education Augsburg (DEMEDA). The Institute for Theoretical Medicine, with around 8,600 square metres of floor space, will house the pre-clinical chairs, as well as laboratories, rooms for practicals and a post-mortem area with facilities for the study of anatomy.

Until the completion of the first new two buildings in 2023 and 2024, viable and reliable interim solutions will be used, to enable the start of research and teaching at the new faculty. The former children's hospital adjacent to the University Hospital has been extensively renovated and adapted to the new needs. For the first students in the model medicine course, it is a place where they can meet teachers and patients and learn and practice medical communication and skills. In addition to seminar rooms and small group rooms, there is a laboratory for practicals, microscope rooms, as well as an interprofessional training centre, which has simulation and observation rooms and rooms for learning medical techniques. The building houses a medical library and offers very good working conditions for some of the newly appointed professors and the Dean's Office.
