The demolition of the university building on Alkotás Street began recently, as the development of the campus enclosed by Alkotás street – Győri Road – Kis János Altábornagy Road continues. The new campus will offer students and educators a proper university environment to work and study in.

What was once the "New Building" of the University of Physical Education is currently being demolished – reports the University website, tf.hu. The building under 44 Alkotás Street and the remnants of the sports hall next to it that burnt down in 2015 will soon disappear from the area.

The five-storey building on Alkotás Street was completed in 1987. While modern at the time it can no longer support the requirements of modern university life, thus it is being torn down as part of the campus development programme.
