HTW Berlin's Computer Museum is located in room 610. Building D – the sections of the building marked 'D' – provides space for the laboratories, workshops, and test stands of the automotive technology course. At the beginning of the 20th century, they were also part of an industrially zoned block of halls. Later, new buildings were added. With its long table lined with seating blocks, the inner courtyard can be turned into an open-air lecture hall. Building E was built expressly for HTW Berlin in 2009. The flat cube with large spaces distributed over two stories contains laboratories, workshops and test stands, and is primarily used by the academics and students of the Building Engineering course.

Plus Energy House (SOL)
HTW Berlin's Wilhelminenhof campus is located in Oberschöneweide in the borough of Treptow-Köpenick in south eastern Berlin. The name dates back to a 16th-century travelogue by Joachim II Hector, Elector of Brandenburg, who rhapsodised about the 'beautiful meadow'. The Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft AEG subsidiary had a major impact on the borough. In 1897, it commissioned the first electricity station in Germany and the largest cable factory in Europe there. Within a short time, Schöneweide became a centre of heavy industry in Berlin. Housing estates and social facilities for the labourers soon followed. Leading architects created modern industrial buildings in which cables, power transformers, batteries, etc. were produced. During the GDR era, Oberschöneweide remained an important industrial location. The 'Wilhelm Pieck' state cable production holding company was dissolved in 1990 and most of the companies closed. The historical former industrial park direct on the Spree River has now become a modern location for science. The imposing buildings have been carefully renovated and supplemented by new buildings. In 2006, HTW Berlin moved into its first building there; since 2009, around 9,000 students and 200 academics in the fields of technology, computer science, culture and design, and many administrative staff members attend classes, perform research and work on the campus, which has an area of 70,000 m2. The second HTW Berlin location, Treskowallee campus, is in the borough of Lichtenberg.
