The works of art of Campus South have been procured mainly under the program “Kunst am Bau” (Percentage for Arts) of the State of Baden-Württemberg. Since the mid-50s, artists have translated their ideas on arts and science into works of art that were built parallel to the construction of the campus buildings.

The DFG-funded Karlsruhe Decision & Design Lab (KD²Lab) in the heart of Karlsruhe is one of the world's largest computer-based experimental laboratories. It offers researchers an excellent infrastructure for economic, neuro- and psycho-physiological experiments. This enables the study of human decision-making behavior, under controlled laboratory conditions. The laboratory has two technically and spatially separated laboratory areas, 40 soundproof and air-conditioned computer cabins, barrier-free experimental cabins and two large team rooms for conducting group experiments.
