The  Module 2 was completed in the fall of 2022 and is to be opened on May 12, 2023. Module 1 was completed and opened in the fall of 2017. The pictures show buildings and facades of both modules.

The Med Campus Graz with his two modules both designed by the prestigious Styrian architectural firm Riegler Riewe, has been detailedly photographed by Michael Nguyen, showcasing the stunning and modern features of the facades. The new one is the second building in a series serve as an extension to the existing Graz Medical University in Austria.

The new facility has an impressive 40,000 square meters of floor space, which includes research and teaching laboratories, administrative offices, and state-of-the-art lecture halls. It is designed to maximize natural light and create a comfortable and productive environment for students, staff, and faculty. It is not just a stunning piece of architecture, set to become a significant landmark in Graz's architectural landscape, but is also an important contribution to the field of medicine and research.
