Educatorium (University of Utrecht) in Utrecht by Rem Koolhaas

Educatorium in Utrecht by Rem Koolhaas

The multifunction Educatorium is the centerpiece of a master plan made by OMA (Koolhaas' firm) for the Utrecht University. The invented name Educatorium is intended to suggest a factory of learning and houses two lecture theatres, three examination halls, and a large refectory, which also functions as an informal study area and performance venue. These facilities are shared by the university's 14 faculties and many research institutes, creating an important new centre of rendezvous and exchange.

The building was completed in 1997. In 1999, the Educatorium was awarded the biennial Rietveldprize.
