Kleve is to be the main site of Rhine Waal University of Applied Sciences, as decided by the Cabinet in Düsseldorf on 27. November 2008.

The $130 million project is being built on a four-hectare area next to the Kleve Harbor.

The Harbor, at Bundeswasserstraße 1st Order, was in earlier times the trading center for the goods of Kleve’s significant foodstuffs industry. Today the artists have taken over the old manufacturing buildings of XOX and Bensdorp.  The starting point of the trolley handcars and the beach bar attract no longer harbor workers but harbor lovers to the heritage-protected grounds around the large granary.  In this environment, university students will soon multiply their knowledge.
