The department has a large number of laboratories, workshops and experimental facilities at a high scientific level. Examples include the hydraulic building hall of the LWI, the 3D concrete printing system, the resonance pulser of the Institute for Steel Construction, the testing facilities of the Institute for Building Materials, Solid Construction and Fire Protection and the maintenance laboratory of the Institute for Roads. A parallel cluster is available for modelling. The facilities also include a railway operation simulator. Almost every institute has testing areas with technical equipment.

Many of the department's institutes are active in the university's key areas of research – "City of the future" and "Mobility". The ZeBra (Centre for Fire Research) and the Zeluba (Centre for Light and Environmentally Friendly Structures) offer excellent infrastructure as well as modern test facilities. In the Coastal Research Centre, coastal research is carried out in a saltwater wave flow channel that is unique in Europe. In addition, the department is home to the EU-funded research project "Digital Construction Site" and the Collaborative Research Centre "Additive Manufacturing in Construction".

Diversity and equal opportunities are put front and centre at TU Braunschweig. The Diversity Coordination Office offers advice, workshops and networking. The Advisory Council on Diversity, Family and Equality awards faculty scholarships. The Sandbox platform supports student projects related to sustainability with funding and coaching.
