Aula Maxima boasts exceptional acoustics and with its elevated stage provides variable possibilities for organising events.
The ceiling of the auditorium “celebrates science” with the largest painting in Slovakia (300m2). The author of the Celebration of Humanity is the artist Ladislav Gandl, who unveiled it in 1964.
New aulas at the Faculty of Informatics by Slovak Technical University
With a total capacity of 540 seats and a stylish interior, the two aulas at the Faculty of Informatics provide space for professional lectures and events. The Big and Small Auditoriums were finished in 2015 and have since become renowned event halls.
The chairman of the National Assembly of the Slovak Republic, Peter Pellegrini, expressed his belief that the new premises will help the faculty further develop: “Building such successful projects within Slovakia would make it possible to create better conditions for higher employment in individual regions of our country.”
With several scientific congresses poised to take place in Bratislava, it seems the university aulas have a bright future ahead. Given the trend that events must now take place in extraordinary venues, the aulas present themselves as the perfect choice.
