The International Campus Group (IC), a key player in student accommodation and urban living concepts, has finished the modernisation of THE FIZZ Bremen at Universitätsallee 1. The property, originally opened in 2012, serves as the first location for the THE FIZZ brand and marks the origin of International Campus's European portfolio. With this measure, the International Campus Group is investing in the future viability of the site and creating a contemporary living environment for students. The completion was celebrated with residents and guests.
The residential building, located directly on the campus of the University of Bremen, became operational for the winter semester 2012/13. It comprises 335 furnished apartments, which are currently fully occupied. Approximately 75 percent of the residents come from abroad, while 25 percent are from Germany.
The modernisation focused on renewing the quality of living and communal spaces. All apartments were modernised and technically upgraded. This included the installation of new beds, mattresses, desks, and desk chairs. Additionally, modern lighting, new curtains, and extra TV sideboards were added. The kitchens also underwent renewal, which involved new worktops, fronts, sinks, taps, cutlery systems, and induction hobs. A significant part of the measures was the replacement of 76 bay windows, which were completely reconstructed. Furthermore, the apartments received modular picture rails with integrated pinboards for individual design.
In parallel with the apartment modernisation, all communal areas were redesigned. A modern communal kitchen, a new study room with shared workspaces, a gaming area, a laundry lounge, a modern reception, and new lounge areas for socialising and exchange were created. The outdoor facilities were also fundamentally modernised. The garden area features a table tennis table, a BBQ area, additional patio furniture, and a gymnastics rig. The offering is complemented by a permanently installed community bus, a converted vintage bus that serves as a meeting point.
Geraldine Lade, Marketing Manager at International Campus, stated that with the modernisation of THE FIZZ Bremen, the company is specifically investing in the long-term attractiveness and quality of the site. She emphasised the particular importance of the building, as the history of International Campus began here some 15 years ago. Lade explained that the goal is to offer students not only contemporary living space but also an environment that fosters community, well-being, and successful studying. The comprehensive measures contribute to meeting residents' demands and sustainably developing the living experience.
With 335 apartments, THE FIZZ Bremen is one of the largest private offerings for student accommodation in direct proximity to the University of Bremen. Rental prices start from approximately EUR 800 per month. All utility costs and internet are included in the rent.
