When designing the campus, the aim was to create an institution that represents a forward-looking trend in its functions. One example of this progressive mentality is the lecture hall exploiting stage technology. Three smaller rooms can be created from the 500-seat lecture theatre by rotating two circular floor areas. A unique feature of the building in terms of functionality and architecture is the 13-metre-high, almost 88-ton stock exchange egg hanging in the aula. The egg houses a room that enables business life to be modelled. One goal of the campus development is to create a community-forming center for the city. This will be served by restaurants, an exhibition venue and a multifunctional space to cater for concerts and theatre performances among other facilities, all surrounded by a leafy public park. Kecskemét CAMPUS, the new building complex of the Faculty of Economics of the Neumann János University of Kecskemét, was built as an investment of Kecskemét Dual Education Ltd.
