The tree-covered square in front of the Palais is complemented by a subtle yet widely visible 'suspended ring' a distinctive, multifunctional feature. This element defines the space below, illuminates the square in the evening, and serves as a stage for urban life and artistic expression.

A key feature of the new plaza is the maximization of permeable surfaces and the strategic integration of tree planting, carefully coordinated with underground services and the university’s operational needs. Intensive greening, using trees, shrubs, and perennials, enhances rainwater evaporation, provides natural shade, and improves the microclimate. Two drinking fountains at the square’s entrances offer additional refreshment. Committed to a circular economy, we are reusing as many existing materials and furniture as possible.
