Event rooms at HXE (ETH Hönggerberg)

Gebäude HXE
Wolfgang Pauli Strasse 9
8093 Zürich

Due to the noise problem with residents of the HWO and HWW, the upper hall may only be used if the event is over before 22:00 or if it is very quiet (<80 people, low alcohol consumption, no outside space...) 

HXE C1

The upper hall is equipped with about 30 tables and about 100 chairs as well as movable walls. Furthermore there are some "Z-tables" (high table, 60x60x110). The upper hall is approved for 420 persons.
The upper hall is intended for quiet occasions in order not to unnecessarily prevent people in the dormitories from sleeping. The StuZ business administration will check the requests - and if necessary move them to the lower hall.

HXE B1

In the lower hall there are about 20 tables and about 80 chairs. The hall is equipped with a danceable floor and a washbasin. In the lower hall a maximum of 600 people are allowed.
Due to the strong outer walls, "louder events" can also be held in the lower hall.


HXE B2

The smaller room B2 on the ground floor is directly opposite the B1 entrance. This room can only be used as a meeting room, OK room or storage room for large events, but not as a event room.
The room is equipped with a permanently installed beamer and screen. Chairs and tables are sufficiently available.

Outdoor space

The exterior space in front of the HXE is also managed by the VSETH. Please note that it is not permitted to hold events without a corresponding permit.
