UB Communication Science

Closure due to Relocation of the Locations in Oerlikon

During the summer, the library locations Affolternstrasse (AFL) and Andreasstrasse (AND) as well as part of the collection of the UB Psychology (BIN) moved into the building BIM (Binzmühlestrasse 11/13; 1. OG). 

On Monday, 14 September 2026, the new location UB Social Sciences will open there.


The merging results in the permanent closures of our locations in the buildings:

AFL (UB Political Science and UB Popular Culture Studies & Film Studies)
AND (UB Social and Cultural Anthropology & Sociology and UB Communication Science)
 

Starting Monday, 21 September 2026, there will be an additional pickup and return location for the UB-ZB courier at the UB AFL (Affolternstrasse 56, AFL-F-129).
