Exportakademie (in English: Export Academy) to provide professional training to future businessmen and thus stimulate the Austro-Hungarian empire's economy.

Close to the Prater public park, and next to the exhibition centre of Vienna, the campus features 6 main building complexes resting on approximately 25 acres (10 ha).

The buildings of the campus are designed by architectural firms from Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Austria.

Construction began in June 2010 and paved the way for the largest campus for business sciences in Europe.

With a total investment of 492 million Euros and a planned construction period of 3 years, the project was concluded in 2013.

Campus WU is situated close to the public transport hub Praterstern and is serviced by two stations of the underground line U2 and a number of buses.

MEVA has developed and uses both standard and special formwork, or a combination of both, to meet the forming requirements for these complex building parts.

Trapezoidal areas of inclined cylindrical corner areas are poured with special Mammut 350 wall formwork panels and special designs of MEVA’s circular column formwork Circo are used for the tilted and rounded corners.
