A new, functional sports facility at the Poznań University of Technology was one of his dreams. It was on his initiative that on January 8, 2010, a meeting of the initiative group was held, including: Mirosław Drozdowski, Marek Idzior, Tomasz Łodygowski, Andrzej Olszanowski, Janusz Wojtkowiak and Jan Żurek. The group asked the authorities of the University of Technology to consider the construction of a modern sports facility. Four years later, the official opening of the modern Sports Center of the Poznań University of Technology took place. Wojciech Weiss was for many a friend, for many a master and a teacher. Everyone will remember him as a hardworking and unique person.
